What are we currently working on:
Y5-2:
We are learning and practicing songs that help us use our singing voice, create/stay with a steady beat, move to music, and how to play specific musical instruments (Some of those instruments may be seen below).
3-5:
We are currently working on learning and reviewing skills that we have learned last year. These include solfege, rhythm, theory, and singing skills.
(This will become more elaborate as we work on other units)
Fun/New things in music: Miss Laabs (a greeting note provided below)
Hello! I am the new music teacher at Norton and Andrews Elementary! I am very excited to teach your students' music and join the Wildcat family! If you want to get to know a little about me you can see some facts below. Go Wildcats!
Class Highlight of the month:
At the beginning of class the students use their responsible behavior to find their spot while or after completing bell work on the board. It is important for us to get a good start and in the right mindset since we only have 35 minutes!
Shout out to our wildcats of the week and month! If your student has received this honor they will have a certificate to bring home! Congratulations to those wildcats! Thank you for being fantastic musicians and students!
