Man, We Have Fun in First Grade!!

In first grade we have been singing away... getting ready for our Veteran's Day performances and also working on other musical concepts.  The first graders have mastered the concept of echoing in music, and now we are looking at something called "Call and Response".  "Call and Response" is a form of music where one person or a group sings one thing and the other person or group sings a response to what they are singing!  You can tell that Mrs. Mann's class had a lot of fun with this...



Listen to a recording of Mrs. Mann's Class and one of Mrs. Ross' Classing singing our song called "Lemonade" by clicking on the links below.  The boys were singing the Call and the girls were singing the Response!
