While We're Away......
Welcome to "Online Learning!"
What a truly EXCITING time to share this experience together! Since we can't be together for class right now, your teachers and I have worked together to bring a little bit of "Class" to you!
Our class was scheduled to begin our study of the 4 Instrument Families this month. We will be focusing on a different Instrument Family each month this year as we prepare to choose our Beginning Band Instruments for September!
Let's see if we can stay on track by playing this fun filled game online and messaging each other with some thoughts about our learning.

Young Composers Project:
Third Grade has been working with the sounds of the major scale. We've been singing and learning about do...re...mi...fa...so...la...ti...and high do. And now we're ready to try our hands at becoming young composers.
Your child came home with a packet of composing materials earlier this week. Please go through the folder with them and choose a few activities that you would like to complete. Take your time and have fun!! We will be sharing our compositions with one another when we return to school :)

Clicking either of these links will take you to the app store to download a free app to play along with your composing if you would like.
Or, if you want to get really creative, THIS LIST will show you some places where you can work with loops and beats to create super fun electronic compositions :)
