The purpose of the elementary music program is to introduce students to this fine art through singing, playing instruments, and movement. Kindergarten students have two twenty minute periods of music instruction per week. Students in grades 1-4 participate in music classes for thirty minutes twice weekly. A spring holiday concert is the culminating activity in grades K-4. Activities in the program are sequential skill building activities involving movement exploration, basic locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulative skills, rhythmic activities and games.
Appropriate dress is necessary in order to assure safe and complete participation in all activities.
All elementary students benefit from the large selection of print and media materials avalable for their enjoyment, research and learning. A certified media specialist offers instruction in library and research skills, an appreciation of fine literature, and use and production of media materials. The elementary library has approximately 23,000 volumes of children's books on a variety of timely topics. Parents are welcome to browse and borrow books. Our librarian will gladly assist parents in the selection of appropriate books.
