Music Exhibitions

This year, sixth graders have the privilege of assisting the 7th and 8th graders in their first exhibition. This is a great opportunity for them to witness the significant process of preparing for an exhibition; a process that they will be working on at this time next year!

Here is a description of what the exhibition will look like:

The Music Exhibition is right around the corner (next Wednesday!) and students are getting ready to sing! In an oral presentation, students will teach us a folk song and lead us to understand its melody, rhythm, and form. As students have been working on an expository, they have been wrestling with the writer’s dilemma: “How do I put this into words?” Trying to explain the pattern, sound, and mood of a song can often leave us at a loss for words. In these weeks, we have been overcoming the challenge, and developing our sentence fluency and ideas in the process. Now, they are on the last lap – trying to prepare for exhibitions on Tuesday and Wednesday.
