Rockin' Rhythms in Music Classes
Funded Oct 19, 2021We are rockin' in music because of your generous donations. We have new rhythm reading stations, rhythmic games, and rhythm assessments. My students are SO excited to have new activities each year. Samantha said, "Mrs. Havey, I love the instruments and especially the new lollipop drums." They're colorful (looks just like big lollipops). We are using your drums, boomwhackers, maracas, tambourines, and rhythmic sticks that have been purchased.
Kindergarteners through fifth graders are using the purchased rhythm reading stations and rhythm dice games to increase their knowledge and performance of notation (from simple quarter notes and eighth notes to complex triplets, 16th notes, and many combinations of steady and syncopated beats. Thomas said, "It's fun to learn more rhythms that we can sing, play, and dance to." My students are enjoying the Halloween, Christmas, Winter Snow, HipHop, and Vivaldi's rhythm activities purchased.
Thank you Donors! Ponderosa Elementary School students will enjoy the "Rockin' Rhythm" materials for many years to come. Your kindness benefits my students. Thanks for being helpful and willing to share your love of music with me and my students.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Havey
Jazzed for Reading Books in Music
Funded Mar 22, 2021Thank you so much for donating to my music room this year! Greatly appreciate it!! My students have thoroughly loved reading time because of the fantastic books about music, culture, history, composers, instruments, and more. Thanks for your support!
Our favorites are books with sound accompaniment. Students can read-along AND sing-along. They love play-alongs and body percussion books also. You made their year with new books to my music library. Thanks!
I'm thrilled to share your love of music to my students through the purchase of these musical books. Always "keep a song in your heart and a dance in your step!"”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Havey
