Music Skype

Kindergarten skyping with Linwood

Grade 1 class skyping with Linwood

Last week our Kindergartens and Grade 1 classroom got to music skype with the Linwood music room.  We each shared a piece we were working on and then asked questions and gave compliments.  It was really neat and our students did a great job.

Bird Song

Spring has sprung and with this new awakening is the sound of many birds.  I was in awe over spring break after stepping out in the quiet of an early morning to be ambushed by thousands of song birds happily singing their songs.  This week our Grade 1 classes have been discussing the bird/creature sounds we've been hearing around us.  We hope to take these to create a song over the next few week.

Our homework assignment is to stop and listen to the various sounds of birds and try and recreate them.  What birds do you know and what sounds do they make?

Check out this fun Walt Disney movie called Birds in the Spring from 1933.

Music Fills the .... Skype?

Madame Burdeniuk and her Assiniboine choir

Thanks to Madame Burdeniuk who skyped with our Grade 4/5 choir today at Stevenson.  She gave us 2 stars and a wish after we sang for her.  I (Ms. Rempel) got to 'sit' in on her choir rehearsal at Assiniboine today at lunch.  Way to go singers!  I was VERY impressed with your singing and hand-clapping parts in "Jump along Josie."

We look forward to sharing with other music classrooms around the Division as well as within our own school.  If you are an educator interested in skyping with a music classroom, please contact me on skype: "msrempelmusicroom"
