The 4th graders now have their recorders! We have been working on B-A-G songs and have begun testing. At Thurston, we do a program called Recorder Karate. With this program, the students earn "belts," (or pieces of yarn) that they can put on their recorders for songs that they test for. Our belt list is:
White Belt: Hot Cross Buns OR Claire de Lune
Yellow Belt: Mary Had a Little Lamb OR The Nutcracker Theme
Orange Belt: Skin and Bones OR Starlight
Green Belt: Canoe Song OR Old McDonald
Purple Belt: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (Melody or Harmony)
