The sounds of music emanated from the hallways of Centre Avenue Elementary School, as second grade students in Ms. Kallen Maguire's and Mrs. Kathleen Rottkamp's classes learned about concerts, sounds, instruments, rhythm, movements and music in a Wonders informational text unit.
For the lesson, sixth grade band and orchestra students played their respective instruments to demonstrate what they sound like through a Flipgrid video. They also explained to second graders why they chose their instrument and what they love about them. Elementary Orchestra Director Evan Anastassatos and Elementary Band Director Nicole Mihalek also assisted in the collaboration.
This was an amazing opportunity for second graders to learn more about the music and to think about what instruments they’d like to play one day.
