The seventh graders this morning have formed a Bible study accountability group going through the Gospel of John. They were inspired after a discussion in youth group on developing habits of Bible study in their life. Thank you Neil Estep!

One of the most critical music concepts I want students to grasp is the idea of beat vs rhythm.

The first step is to hear and feel the ongoing “heartbeat” (steady beat) in a song, which is consistent and never abruptly longer or shorter.

Then, rhythm is taught as “the way the words go.” The long and short sounds of a melody fit INTO the steady beat.

We use the icons to represent the even and consistent beat of a song, and the magnets to represent how many sounds are sung during each beat.

Here we transcribed Good King Leopold and students took turns making this rudimentary musical notation on the board.

Soon they will be ready to see written notation and they will have context for it!

A couple weeks ago we studied the art element of value, which is the lightness and darkness of an image or color.

We used white “charcoal” (chalk) pencils to draw x-ray images on black cardstock.

The light and dark areas were very obvious, the students were challenged to render those pesky mid-tones!

It was especially fun to see their reactions. The older kids were more enthusiastic about drawing bones, but some of the younger kids had to warm up to the idea! 😂
