January, February, & March 2026

*Head Start will be introduced to the story of Freddie the Frog during this unit and into the next.

**Kindergarten & 1st Graders will be introduced/re-introduced to Chrome Music Lab, and will have an opportunity to explore all the apps during a music technology lesson this unit and/or into the next.

***2nd, 3rd, and 4th Graders will have an opportunity to use Chrome Music Lab - Song Maker, to experience being composers and arrangers. They will also learn about how to save their compositions. Students have previously had the opportunity to review how to use all the apps, and they also got to explore the MusicPlayOnline curriculum (which includes songs, games, and other resources) during an exploratory lesson.

****4th Graders will have an introduction to something called Note Knacks during Lesson 10. Students were able to unpack and examine the blocks and answer questions. They also had the opportunity to work in small groups together to examine the relationships between and among the different blocks.

*****5th Graders will also have the opportunity to use Note Knacks, too, before the end of the current school-year. However, they are currently working on a special project, called Music Around the World.
