We are coming up on a very busy time of year! Our Veterans Day program was well attended and, hopefully, was a time of honor and respect for our Veterans!

Coming up next week is already our Christmas program. It will be in the First Christian Reformed Church in Inwood on Monday Dec 5 starting at 7PM. The kids have been practicing for quite a while already and are excited to share their gifts and talents with you! You can join us afterward in the Inwood Christian School gym for a dessert and coffee social.

So far this year, the Kindergartners have been learning about high/low, long/short, loud/soft, and steady beat in music. We have played multiple games to help us learn these concepts in different ways and have started to learn ta and ti-ti. The 1st and 2nd grade class has been reviewing ta and ti-ti and learning lots of songs or playing instruments to help reinforce this. They are an awesome group of singers! 3rd and 4th graders will be finishing up a unit of recorders shortly after Christmas and the 5-8th graders will be ending a unit using the ukuleles. After the Christmas program, I intend to do some fun Christmas cup routines, Christmas boomwhacker songs, Christmas/winter songs and much more! Those couple of weeks after the Christmas program and before Christmas break are a fun and relaxing time here in the music room.

Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas season filled with the wonder of God's love!
