Let's Go Fly a Kite!

     2nd grade has been busy with a mini-unit all about KITES! We started off by listening to and learning about the song "Let's Go Fly a Kite" from the musical Mary Poppins. We discussed the composers who wrote the music and spent time learning this fun melody. We then used our newly learned music concepts: time signatures and note durations (quarter, eighth, and half notes) to create our own compositions. What better way to show them off than to make our own kites?! We wrapped up the week by "flying" our kites to the beat while singing "Let's Go Fly a Kite".
