Art Class

 

Pre Kindergarten classes painted a mural while exploring cool colors.

First Graders learned about the artwork of 

African American Artist Alma Woodsey Thomas, 

then painted their own radial designs, 

using the color wheel as a guide for which color to choose next.

Early Childhood Music

 

Our early childhood students have been having fun learning about jazz and some famous jazz artists.

Our Nursery 2 and 3 classes were introduced to Louis Armstrong and enjoyed listening to and playing along with his music.   The children listened to the book When Louis Armstrong Taught Me to Scat and had some fun singing scat phrases and creating their own scat rhythms.

 

Nursery 2 loved singing along with the Alphabet Scat. 

The Nursery 3 students loved the Bubble Gum Scat from the book 

Louis Armstrong Taught Me to Scat.

The Pre-K listened to the book Trombone Shorty by Troy Andrews (aka Trombone Shorty).

They had a great time listening to, singing, and playing along with the music of Trombone Shorty.  

Pre-K also enjoyed creating their own scat patterns with the chant Mississippi Cat.

Kindergarten listened to the story Ella Queen of Jazz 

and enjoyed listening to the music of Ella Fitzgerald.

The Kindergarten had fun playing along with Ella Fitzgerald's Old Mother Hubbard.
