Rock and Roll in 1st Grade

Yesterday in music class we learned to be composers. We made our own melody for a song about dreidels. We added musical instruments to our song (accompaniment). Then we added the choreography or dance movements. We even got to perform for Mrs. W when she came to pick us up from music. It was awesome...even Mrs. B thought so!

We also had a guest geologist in the afternoon. She brought real rocks and minerals to share with us. Then we got to do stations to test our own rocks for hardness, whether or not they could float, how much they weighed, how long they were, and for calcium or lime. This created a great deal of excitement.

Today we are receiving our reward for the marble jar. We voted for no shoes in the classroom. We promise to be careful!
