Bell School Winter Musical 2014

Congratulations to the second and third graders of Bell School on their fantastic performance of the 2014 Winter Musical, Dino-Sauring.  The show incorporated various styles of music, which told the stories and presented educational facts about specific dinosaurs.  The third grade students acted as the narrators for the show.  Students’ “Dino-Party” artwork was showcased via a slide show throughout the performance and the auditorium was decorated with six-foot reproductions of a few selected pieces from this artwork.  Each class had a moment to shine as they performed choreographed dances center stage.  Students wore coordinating t-shirts and headpieces that they created in the art classroom.  Both shows were well attended and enjoyed a great success.  

Thank you to our principal, Mrs. Zaeske, Mrs. Louisos, the 2nd and 3rd Grade General Ed teachers, our Access team, Bell School PTO and all of the friends and family of the Bell School. 

Rip-Roaring Dino-Sauring!

Second Grade Music, Fall 2013

Second Grade Music:

This fall, the second grade has continued to explore and stretch their vocal range through various warm-ups and songs.  Students are becoming more comfortable with their singing voice and are beginning to match pitch consistently.  Students have continued to work on independently maintaining a steady beat through songs and movement.  Second grade has been exposed to basic notation, to include both the family of “notes” and “rests.”  Students have started to recognize standard notation in sheet music that has been part of the Winter Musical learning process.  Although they have learned the note or rest values of notation, this is something that will be further developed next year in preparation for recorder in third grade.  Second grade has been challenged with preparing for their first musical at the Bell School.  They have been learning to read through short vocal scores, identify repeat signs and follow a song from verse to verse.  All of the classes have grown tremendously and are for the most part independent in following a simple vocal score.  In December, the students will look forward to working on the risers, learning appropriate performance etiquette and piecing the show together for our dress rehearsal and performance.
