End of the year class orchestra

Thank you all for your help in making our spring concert a success!
In the last few weeks of school, we are continuing our discussion on musical instruments in a hands on way! I'm asking all the K-1 scholars to bring in any small/portable instruments they have to show the class and describe how they make music. This will give the students a chance to use some of the music vocabulary they have been learning throughout the year. On the last day of music class, I would like to have the class play together with all their instruments. If your students do not have instruments they can bring, there are many ways to make your own with things you already have around the house! I will be sharing ideas for instrument in later posts, but see what ideas your students come up with! They are very creative.

Please send instruments with your students starting Monday of next week, the 11th. If you need a little more time to create something, have the student bring it when they are finished. It will take me over a week to hear about all the students instruments. If you have an instrument that you do not want left at school, I understand, and ask that the student tells me on the day they bring it, and they will get a chance to present with it on that day.
