We are "back to normal" here in the music room! This is my favorite time of year!

 In kindergarten/early primary...
We have been learning a "song a day"- we had a day on Rudolph, now we're having a "Jingle Bells Day" and next time we will spend time on "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."

In 1st...
Our program is done! and it was WONDERFUL! We are celebrating and singing Christmas songs. We will spend time reflecting on the program and talking about why it was so excellent.

In 2nd/3rd/primary...
Now that the Nutcracker is done, we are watching a recording of the New York City Ballet performing the Nutcracker. It is so fun to see the "real thing."

In 4th/5th...
We are working on a Christmas Caroling unit. We have talked about the history and are now learning carols to go sing to the younger classes next week.

I hope you have a wonderful week! Stay warm! and remember....
