FMEA
Join Artie for an hour of exciting music lessons based on children's books. Singing, moving and instrument playing will be incorporated as we focus on the musical elements of rhythm, melody, form and expressive qualities. Cross-curricular connections will be made with a number of language arts goals, especially in the area of reading fluency. Be sure to give your Media Specialist a list of the books you use, as children will want to check them out and share the lessons with their families.
