Patriotic Sing-along

Memorial Day Celebration - Sing-along!

Veterans Day is November 11.  On this day we honor men and women who have served in the military.  There are 5 branches of the military; the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guards and Marines.

Monday, May 25 is Memorial Day.  Memorial Day is a day when we honor those men and women who have served in the military; but are no longer with us.  Usually there is a Memorial Day Parade in Eau Claire.  In addition, people often visit cemeteries and plant flowers in memory of their loved ones.  This year, there will not be a parade and many cemeteries may not allow visitors.  But, you can STILL celebrate Memorial Day by singing these wonderful patriotic songs along with Ms. Miller!

Music Staff Lesson (Grades 3-5)

This lesson is taught at the end of 3rd grade.  We use the music staff to play instruments.  The instrument we all use in 4th grade is the recorder.  We continue to play recorder in 5th grade.  This knowledge of the music staff will be used in middle school Band, Orchestra and Chorus!

The Music Alphabet starts and goes in the same order as the regular alphabet, except that it is much shorter...
ABCDEFG

And it can repeat ABCDEFGABCDEFGABCFEFG

When we put it on the staff (4 lines, 5 spaces) we can say this rap.
