For the past 2 weeks we have been taking a pre-test in 2nd grade music called a Student Growth Measure. This pre-test was over information that we will be learning this year, to judge where students are on the knowledge scale for this information. At the end of the year, they will be taking it again as a post-test to see if they learned the information throughout the year as thoroughly as they could! So, if your kiddos have been complaining about tests in music, this is what they were doing! But don't worry, we're getting back to the fun now that testing is coming to a close! I cannot wait to teach your awesome kids these awesome new music concepts this year.
While we are testing and you wonder, "Why do my kids have to test in music? Isn't it just a fun place to sing and dance?" Remember that music has many health benefits for you and your children, and is an integral part of our lives. Look at these awesome research-based facts about the benefits of music!
