This week the fourth graders got their first exposure to the Orff instruments. These are the xylophones and metalophones of various sizes that were a gift from the Third Street parents last year. Because these instruments can be adjusted to limit the possibility of sour notes, children can become creators and composers very rapidly. The result the first week was a little chaotic, but it was good chaos.
Homework -- the composition assignment last week seemed to give people trouble. I'm afraid I may not have explained it very well the first time around. So for those of you who didn't complete it, take another shot this week. Those of you who managed to muddle through -- you're in the clear!
