Have a Great Summer!

I would like to wish everyone a great summer and let you know that I appreciate every one of you and will miss you for these two months!! I am also excited to go to the cottage and relax and come up with some more fun ideas for our music classroom. To my Grade 5's, I have really enjoyed teaching you and hope that you still pop your head in and say hi on your way to band next year. Good Luck!! If you are looking for some fun web sites to play on during the summer don't forget about my list on the right side of this screen! This is Mrs.Dueck signing off for the summer!

Canada in my Pocket

This year one of the songs we will be performing at the Canada Day Assembly on June 30th will be a sing-a-long. The song is called "Canada in my Pocket". We have performed this before so you may remember it from a few years back. The Choir will be leading the song and my hope is everyone will join in and sing to celebrate our amazing country. This is a video of the song so you can practice at home!

Ludwig Van Beethoven

The Grade 4 students have been learning about the composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. They have learned "Ode to Joy" from his last symphony on the recorder, watched a movie and read about his life and how he still composed even in the last 7 years of his life when he was deaf. I found this beautiful video of nature scenes with Beethoven's Symphony #7 in the background. Grade 4's if you recognize the music, come and tell me where you have heard it before!
