Hello! This week we're going to be focusing on making some sounds and making sure our voices are making the right sound in K, 1 & 2 and a little bit in the other grades. I can feel the 3rd, 5th, and 6th graders wanting to sing so badly! We need to make sure we can handle instruments in class first before we can handle pieces of music and textbooks carefully.
