Welcome to Kindergarten Music! My name is Mrs. O'Melia and I am so excited to be teaching Kindergarten Music for the second year. I will be posting weekly updates on here so you can check in about what songs we have been learning in music. The overall theme for Kindergarten is "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saens. We will focus on one animal composition each month.
