Musical Math

We have continued our learning of addition and subtraction strategies for math. Today we practiced counting on and counting back again, using some instruments. Students had fun using them to count each number that was added or subtracted. A bonus was that they couldn't use their fingers, something I had not thought of when I planned the lesson. They truly had to think and try to hold the numbers in their heads, even though the music was helping.

Indianapolis Opera

The Indianapolis Opera came and performed "Fumbelina" for the first graders today. It was a retelling of the classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale "Thumbelina". Students thought it was funny, and enjoyed listening to the music. Some thought that the singing was very loud. They were also very interested in the costumes and set designs.

Thank you to Mrs. Tidrow our music teacher for arranging this unique experience for us.
