Grade 1 and 2 Choir

I am so excited that we now have a choir for the Grade 1's and the Grade 2's. This is something that we have never had before at Linden Meadows School! The best part, is that it is during the school day and I get them for one extra class!! We have started out our choir rehearsals talking about singing posture. This is one very important aspect of singing! If we can get this right, everything else will fall into place quite smoothly. Our bulletin board reads "Don't have Despicable singing posture!" I usually don't like throwing negative statements around my classroom but this one is hilarious to the kids and they really get what I mean when I say it! I never thought it would be such a popular saying! I borrowed the picture below but this is what ours "sort of"
looks like with Mrs. Dueck's drawing of a minion!!
