Word of the Week - Solo & Duet

Every week 2-5 grades have a Word of the Week.  

This week our word(s) were Solo & Duet.  

Mr. Sorrells (our Mon-Tues. intern) wrote a great song to help us remember their definitions.  

He also made a FABULOUS video!

Musician of the Month: Giaochino Rossini

Our new Musician of the Month for March is Giaochino Rossini! 

Rossini wrote lots of operas.  And, this week in 2nd  and 3rd grades, we did a parachute activity to the finale to William Tell Overture (from the Opera William Tell).

Treble Clef & Bass Clef

This week in Music class (2-5 grades), the Word of the Week is Treble Clef and Bass Clef.  I found these super cool videos to demonstrate them.

Jump Rope for Heart!

Jump Rope For Heart is an annual event that DES takes part in every February.  It is led by our awesome PE teacher, Mrs. Land.  Music classes team up with PE classes for this event.  Here are a few fun pics and videos that I took!
