Music In Our Schools Month
Launch the media gallery 1 playerMarch has been proclaimed as Music In Our Schools Month by the Governor of Missouri. We are focusing on music education and music in our culture.
Something that I tell the students when they ask me, "Why is music important?", I challenge them to go a day in our lives without music. No TV, because there is so much music from theme songs to ads to movies. You can't go to the grocery store without hearing soft music on the speakers. Sporting events are started and accompanied by music. Music is very ingrained in our society, and students at school have a right to have access to a well-balanced, comprehensive, sequential, and high-quality program of musical instruction.
This month, Kindergarten, Third-grade, and Fourth-grade have all started their spring program practices. First-grade is trucking through "Carnival of the Animals" and bringing it to life through movement. Second-grade is finishing up their rhythm vs beat unit. Fifth-grade is ready to begin studying music in film after wrapping up our unit on music in Africa. The students at Putnam County work very hard in music class and they are growing and learning daily. March 21st-25th we will celebrate Music In Our Schools Month and Youth Art Month by having a dress-up week filled with activities.
