What a Wonderful World

For Earth Day, the Grade 2 students learned how to sing "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. They described what they loved most about the world we live in with such detail so I thought we would create some artwork while listening to the song and our teacher candidate Ms. Blanchette put our artwork in an Animoto for us to enjoy! First video is 2JR and the second is 2J.

I Knew You Were Treble

The Grade 3's and 2/3 classes have been learning music theory for the past couple of weeks to prepare for playing the recorder. We are practicing naming the notes on the treble clef staff and will be trying as many ways as possible to do this. Note Name Battleship, Theory Booklets, Smartboard Games, IPad Games and even relay games outside! This week we found an awesome video that is helping lots of kids learn the note names through a song. Some of them wanted a link to it so here it is!!

Music Monday

On Monday May,9, 2016, we will be celebrating music in our schools by singing "We are one" with thousands of kids across Canada! Our school will be celebrating with an assembly showcasing the many musical activities we have at Linden Meadows. Everyone will be a part of this assembly as everyone in our school takes a music class of some type. Below is the video put out by The Coalition for Music Education with our song for this year written by 16 year old Connor Ross!

Skipping Stones

Hello Grade 3-5 Choir! Pembina Trails Sings is less than a month away and some of you have been asking for a recording of "Skipping Stones" to practice along with. I found this video on YouTube of a choir singing it so feel free to sing along!

Welcome Back everyone! Hope you all had a restful and fun holiday. We are back in the swing of things with a lot going on at Linden Meadows as usual. So many opportunities to be a part of something awesome. This year the Grade 5-8 students will be performing "The Lion King" at the Gas Station Theatre at the end of May. Very Exciting! The auditions were amazing and more students than ever want to be a part of this event. Rehearsals are already under way this week and I am sure you are going to love this show!!

Garden of Remembrance

I would like to just say that I am so proud of how respectful and thoughtful our school was at our Remembrance Day Service on Tuesday. The beautiful flowers we made to honour the men and women who has served in the war was an amazing display today. The music, words and behavior at the assembly was exactly as it should be. Thank You to everyone who helped in making our service so beautiful. Here is a picture of our garden.
