Who said test-taking is not fun. Look at these smiling children as they perform their rhythmic composition common assessments for me.
After common assessments we had some time for solfege games like this one. Singing songs, racing around the circle, tossing frogs into the lily pond and singing the solfege.
Congratulations to these students who have been working very hard and making progress.
