Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Happy Birthday, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart!

Rise to the occasion...

The Jefferson risers are all set and ready to use!

Food For Thought!

My Jefferson colleagues did a FANTASTIC job with their Reading Assembly skit yesterday!

The theme was food and how it can apply to reading (eat/read a wide variety)!

Can you name all of the famous characters that they portrayed?

Sadly, I wasn't well enough to participate... still, it was fun just to watch!

Don't Laugh At Me

For No Name Calling Week (NNCW) this week, the theme song:

Tis the season...

So sorry I missed all of my students at Davis Thayer this week,

as well as all of my private guitar students!!! :-(

Bronchitis...

Yuck...

One Step Closer...

Well, the risers for Jefferson have finally arrived... now they just need to be set up!

Drums, drums and more drums!!!

A student came into music class today with a drum set that she had made!

The kids in her class all asked if I could post it on this website,

So... here it is:

Well, that got me thinking about some of the drum sets other students had made.

This one is from a boy (who LOVES to play drums) from a few years ago:

This next and last drum set is from a girl who made this for me many moons ago:

This student is no longer in elementary but in middle school now! 

Tempus fugit!

If I Had A Hammer

This version of the song was sung by Peter, Paul & Mary

right before MLK, jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' speech.

Mrs. Carter and I sang it out in the hallway this past Friday!

Music Twister

Students had fun learning about the lines and spaces of the staff

with a game called Music Twister (modeled after "Twister").

A visit from some teachers next door...

We welcomed two guests to our Music Room today- Deb Hoppe and Pat Renaud.

They are both elementary music teachers in Bellingham, MA.

Thanks so much for joining us, Pat and Deb!

Finally!

The new interactive whiteboard in the Music Room at Jefferson Elementary

is finally up and running! Can't wait to start using it... today!!!

Get ready... here they come!

4th Grade students will begin taking their recorders home soon

as we prepare to embark on our new unit in music-

RECORDER KARATE

Students will be expected to practice 3 or 4 times a week!
