Hello! I’m Ms. Lingel and I am so excited to be your music teacher next year! In music class, we sing, dance, play percussion instruments (such as drums, rhythm sticks, xylophones, and more!), and even create our own music. We will learn about musical opposites (high vs. low, soft vs. loud, fast vs. slow, etc) while developing the ability to expressively move to music, maintain a steady beat, and match pitch with our singing voices.

Kindergarten students will visit the library once a week. Each week, the students will be able to choose a book to borrow for the week. In addition, the students will participate in an information skills lesson. Each lesson will help the students recognize the importance of reading as a means of gathering information as well as begin to discriminate between factual and non-factual books and databases. An emphasis is placed on developing a love and appreciation of reading all year. We look forward to meeting your Kindergarten student soon!
