Look what's happening in 1st grade Music!
This semester in music, 1st grade students are exploring steady beat, pitch and rhythm through singing, dancing and playing instruments. By the end of the semester students should be able to keep a steady beat with different types of music, match a basic 3-pitch singing pattern and clap the rhythm of a simple poem or song. You can help your child by singing songs, listening to different types of music, going to a concert and reciting nursery rhythms. The rhythm of the nursery rhymes not only helps with steady beat and phrasing but also helps with the development of language which is essential to learning how to read.
