Big Black Cats

Here are a couple of pictures of K/1 students playing instruments in music today. Students played ta (quarter note) on the woodblocks and ti-ti (eighth notes) on the glockenspiels in the song Big Black Cats. Students sitting by the stars were being singing super stars. Ask your K/1 student to sing Big Black Cats for you at home.
