**Everyone has the same option #1 for this week.**
K-2 Options
#1 - It’s nearing the end of the school year and many folks are thinking about graduations, whether it’s kindergarten or 8th grade or high school, and so many of those include end of year slideshows. What school appropriate song would you include in an end of year slideshow? What sounds nostalgic and meaningful for such an event? Would you want tearful or positive/forward looking music? Country or pop or jazz? Take a minute and do a responsible search. You may check through your playlists or you may do a responsible google for graduation music or you may try a Spotify graduation playlist. (Be sure and ask your folks for help.) Listen to a couple. Then select your top 2 or 3 favorites and email me your list, include links when possible.
#2 - Take a minute to enjoy a fabulous book set to music. Pick one or listen to them all!

#2 - Let’s look at the instruments of the orchestra and how they can tell a story. Think back to when we learned about Peter and the Wolf. What instruments or details do you remember? Then watch this version and see what stayed the same. If you notice any big differences, email me what you see. (I noticed one big difference myself! Maybe you’ll see it or maybe you’ll notice a new one!) If you don’t remember, no worries. Just sit back and enjoy!
#3 - Don’t forget to keep using Quaver to review note names and all the phrases from Treble and Bass Clef.
