White Belts!

Fourth grade students earned their white belts!

Students have been using a new recorder book this year, so we started our Recorder Karate program over.  For each concept that students learn, their class has a chance to earn a karate belt (yarn) for their recorder by showing mastery on the topic.

The white belt topics were notes E and G and rhythms "ta" and "ti-ti."  Students showed mastery by performing "Lemonade," "No Robbers Out Today," and "Quaker, Quaker."  All classes did a fantastic job!

Students will also have the chance to test individually and earn beads to add to their belts.  For white belt, students could earn beads on the songs "See Saw" and "Starlight Star Bright."
