Composing melodies in Second Grade

Welcome to the Harvey Music Room!

During the 2007-08 school year, there were 7 musical presentations from each grade level including the Harvey Elementary Choir, Band, and Orchestra.  Each concert was based on curricular themes supporting the regular classroom areas of study. Music was integrated with studies of the Constitution, States and Regions of the United States, KUSD Core Values, Science and Language Arts through the grade level performances. 

This year each grade level music program will again be presenting an area of study supporting our curricular partnerships. Below you will find that dates and topics that were covered.

Our Concert Year in Review....................

  • October 27, 2008, the Harvey Second grade performed the musical "Nuts"  learning about life cycles of nuts and the

animal community. 

  • The Fifth graders made a life long connection to "core values" with the musical "Bebop with

Aesop"  where our beloved "Mr. Ernest" performed the role of Aesop reminding us of stories of lessons that still

speak to us today.

  • The Third grade performed the "Family Feud" which correlated with their 3rd grade science unit on Sound. 
  • Fourth Grade continued their study of February African American history month by performing  "I Have a Dream."
  • Kindergarten sang "Get Hoppin'" a Spring musical about a little bunny on April 2 to reinforce the cycle of seasons. 

The first graders sang for the Harvey Folk Fair to open the festivities and performed "Americans All" singing about the many

nationalities and cultures that make up who we are as Americans.
