Practice the moves for our upcoming Culture Night Assembly with Ms. VanProeyen’s and Ms. Cwiek’s classes.

3rd Graders in Ms. Schmidt’s Class and 4th Graders in Ms. Mroczka’s class learned to sing the song “Thankfulness” in a 2 part and 3 part round with Orff instrument accompaniment.

Ms. Sobh’s class learned the song “5 Fat Turkeys” and had fun acting out the parts of the song.

3rd graders have been learning about singing canons (also known as rounds) during music. A canon is a way to perform a piece of music where one group starts singing, and another group joins in a certain number of beats or measures later. Listen to Ms. Cheaib’s class sing “Mr. Turkey” in a round.

First graders in Ms. Albachachy’s class played instruments to a call and response song called “Shoo Turkey.” They played 2 times on the words “yes ma’am” in the A section, and then kept the steady beat in the B section.

In 3rd grade we’ve been working on a tricky double circle dance called Tideo. Watch our third graders perform in the videos below:
