1st-2nd Grades
eLearning/DistanceLearning
On the days we don't see your child in person, students will receive virtual music instruction through the Quaver music curriculum. For assistance with Quaver, check the "Quaver" section of this website for more information. To find your child's music assignments, check your classroom teacher's Google Classroom, look under "Classwork", and find the Music section.
If you child loves music and wants music enrichment activities, scroll down for songs and additional music-related websites that I recommend.

Dear Parents and Students,
I encourage you to sing with your children, and I encourage them to teach YOU some of the songs we've learned this year.
The songs from our curriculum are found on YouTube by the singer Jill Trinka. Many are echo songs ("you sing after me....."), and some are songs to encourage beat motions/keeping a steady beat with body percussion, motions, or small percussion instruments. I hope you enjoy singing as a family! Here is our list:
