3rd Grade Singing is a big part of our curriculum and this year's third graders are super singers. Students are learning to improve their steady beat, read music, perform rhythm patterns, and play music games like the street game "Circle 'round the zero." Best of all, the classes enjoy using balls, hoola hoops and jumping ropes to apply musical concepts. Students even ate worms one day because everyone felt sad 'cause "Nobody loves me, ev'rybody hates me... think I'll go eat worms." 4th Grade Fourth grade students are the best! We sing, move, dance, play instruments, do rhythm exercises, and use anything available to create musical sounds. Patriotic songs are at the top of our "to know" list and Tennessee songs and American folk songs will always be a part of our classwork. 5th Grade The fifth grade students have been very busy preparing for the annual MES Veteran's Day program. The entire script for this celebration has been written by these students and focuses on the goodness of America and her people. You'll want to attend this very special program as we join in song and spirit to honor our Veterans.
