Grade 2 Unit 5 Newsletter
“Music has a message” was the central idea in the How we express ourselves in Unit 5. Students continued to develop
their music writing skills, singing with solfege terminology and hand signs,
and writing 4 beat measures with proper rhythmic notation. Students played the
xylophone in a call and response style and practiced feeling the beat and
repeated rhythm patterns in Charlie’s ostinato. The song Doe a Dear from the
Sound of Music with Julie Andrews introduced the students to a song that though
simple at first hearing, allowed the students to sing in an ostinato pattern in
a simple 2 part form. The melody uses the C Major scale which the students had
been writing on the 5 line and 4 space musical staff.
