Friday FroYo Fun!

These students spent part of their Friday afternoon helping me sort, label and file music. I thought a little frozen yogurt treat would be fun. Thank you to the PDS parent that saw us in Delta Dairy and surprised us by picking up the tab! 

Do-Re-Mi-FUN!!!

Students in all grades are learning Solfege syllables and hand signs (Do-Re-Mi- and so on). These 4K students are practicing playing these notes on the handbells.

I LOVE PDS!

I love being back at PDS. 

Mama's Little Baby Loves Shortnin' Bread

We have been learning folk songs in music class at PDS. One of the students' favorite songs is "Shortnin' Bread".  After making a batch of it and letting the 3rd grade students try it, I discovered that it is also a favorite treat!

Sound Opposites

The students in the Eagles' Nest have been learning about sound opposites in music: fast-slow, high-low, loud-soft. They have also learned musical terms for these opposites. Below you will see puctures of 3k students shaking their shaker eggs and moving their feet to the tempo,  fast (presto) and slow (largo). 

It's Fall, Y'all!

One of my favorite duties is recess duty! I really enjoy watching the students PLAY--- and JUST BE KIDS.

Today, these girls had a blast playing in the leaves! The scene was so pretty, I decided to share it.

Stars and Stripes Forever

We are learning about John Philip Sousa, and his famous march, Stars and Stripes Forever! These students are having their own parade: proudly marching and waving flags!
