October fun!

Sunday, October 13, 2019 by Marin Ramey | Games

Last week, many students played a game called Bat Rhythms. They had to look at measures in 4/4 time, figure out how many beats were missing and roll the dice to put that number on the box. It is a great assessment and takes a lot of knowledge. They have to know the note values and rest values that are there and then problem solve how many are missing.

The other activity some students played was an improvisation with Halloween related words. "Tip toe up the driveway" would be ♩♩♫♫. They played along with an accompaniment to improvise a Halloween song.

Some students are starting Christmas music! I know it seems early but its only 7 weeks until the Holiday open house and we need a lot of time to prepare. Especially when you factor in illness, sports, and power outages that may make us miss a week between now and then.
