Always a treat to see former students, but it’s ESPECIALLY sweet to hear them making music after they leave @SweeneyElem!! Thanks Mr. Butler and the West Jr High Saber Singers for brightening our day!

These 3rd graders are working on identifying rhythms by tapping it on the person in front of them and seeing if they can identify it when it gets to the front. So fun!! #telephone #shakopeeschools

First grade is working on sorting the different sections of a song by sound! Check out their hard work mapping out “The Syncopated Clock” with a parachute tool! @SweeneyElem #minimusicians
