This is from one of the French classes that blogs their notes.
Mrs. Manchester's Classroom Notes
February
While it is true that all music activities require active listening, the act of listening to a new piece of music and describing what you hear requires a unique set of skills and knowledge.
Illinois Fine Arts Goal 25A requires all students to understand the sensory elements, organizational principles and expressive qualities of the arts. In the same vein, National Standard #6 in music expects that children are listening to, analyzing, and describing music.
The way students describe what they hear varies with age, experience, and the type of music involved. In the primary grades, students use movement, pictures, and simple music vocabulary to express the perceived sound. Upper grade students use their increasing vocabulary skills to discuss and write about what they notice as well as the mood the piece evokes. They also learn to sing and play the music when appropriate

This is Westlawn Elementary School. I worked here last year and the Fall semester of this year. I loved being with the kids here; it was like a breath of fresh air ( not everyday) but I knew teaching was something I really wanted to do. I worked with a teacher by the name of Jada Cooper. She is one of the best teachers that I have seen in action. Her kids learn so much and they really adore her. I would love to do my student teaching and observation with her. I would love to learn Mrs. Cooper's techniques and tricks of the trade when it comes to kids!!
Been a while!!
Hey guys and girls out there...I'm back!!! Its very true I haven't been out here in a while but the past few weeks have been crazy! I found out recently that I have a medical problem(its nothing too serious). I was told that my thyroid was over active. By having this problem, it keeps me tired and weak until my body becomes immune to the medicine that I am taking, but I will not let that bring me down. I just wanted to update all of you and let you all know that I will be on top of my game and will be getting back on track!!! OH yea...i love this blogging. It keeps me updated with all you and I can update you all, too. Well See ya
