Our music classroom is ever growing and changing here at Oliver!

Our Oliver Elementary playlist can be accessed by students through our virtual classroom but we have a visual of some of our favorites in the music room!

We are celebrating #HispanicHeritageMonth at Oliver Elementary! Grades 4 5 and 6 are playing Cheki Morena and learning how Merecumbé was created from blending Merengue and Cumbia💃🏽 #musiceducation Centennial SD

Dispute their efforts, I AM STILL THE JUMP ROPE REIGNING CHAMP

2nd grade learned Sol and Mi today when we sang rain rain go away. Students placed raindrops on the low or high line.

1st grade learning high and low by having Jack and Jill go up and down the hill (xylophone)

5th grade rocking it on xylophones today!

3rd and 4th grade are learning about the staff today! We played a note naming game outside.

Today 5th grade listened to good 4 u by Olivia Rodrigo to learn about form. We then made our own song “road map” using xylophone and percussion parts we have been practicing this year. We loved putting all the parts together to make our own song!

I had the opportunity to watch 5th graders give a presentation on the Salmon life cycle to 4th and 6th grades. Our 5th grade is raising salmon eggs in their class fish tanks. What an amazing opportunity to share their learning with the greater Oliver community!

We turned the lights off in 4th and 6th grade and listened to some spooky music 🕸 Students ranked each song based on spookiness, wrote comments, and chose their top 3 contenders for their scary movie.

2nd graders had a chance to express what they heard in the piece “In the Hall of the Mountain King” through drawings. I love all the different ways they saw the sound!

Successful spirit week! 🦦

My biggest and best takeaway from the #AntiracistUDL professional development series with Andratesha Fritzgerald (she/her). Everything is a spectrum-- including marginalization. Understanding this deeply helps educators better empower all learners.

We’re going on a scavenger hunt to learn about Black musicians throughout history to commence #BlackHistoryMonth

6th grade writing their own songs with ukuleles today! 🎶

3rd grade creating music on Chrome Music Lab today. #digitalmusic
