Music: Students will sing “work songs” and continue to learn about veterans and the jobs which are held by our military personnel. Steady beat and rhythm reading are important concepts to master during the fall semester. Please look at the Music Google Classroom for extra resources. This week there is an amazing video of a seven-year old girl singing “The National Anthem”. Flag etiquette has been explained during music class. Veterans, you are appreciated. In the music classroom, we discuss your sacrifices and willingness to protect America.
