Honor Choir March

 

1st Grade Pirate Program with Mrs. Carol Louise Moore

 🏴‍☠️ 1st Grade Music Focus: Brave & Positive Pirates

In 1st Grade Music, our pirate theme helps students learn how to be optimistic, positive, and kind.

We practice remembering our “favorite things” when feelings feel big, so our hearts can feel brave and steady again. Through music, movement, and speaking parts, students build confidence, teamwork, and positive thinking skills.

Our Pirate Program is not just a performance — it is a celebration of the brave, caring pirates our students are becoming.

🏴‍☠️ 1st Grade Pirate Program Practice

Our 1st Grade Pirate Program is coming soon! Below are the songs the students will perform on March 11th for the school and March 12th for the parents.

Students are encouraged to practice using the videos provided. Practicing at home helps build confidence and strong singing voices for the big day.

Thank you for supporting our brave pirate crew!

— Mrs. Moore
