They learned to echo and read different rhythm patterns, including quarter note, quarter rest and eighth notes. They will continue to learn rhythms as second graders to prepare them for playing the recorder and strings in third grade and a band instrument in fourth grade.

KSS is a collaborative community committed to inspiring curiosity, integrity, and academic excellence in our children. Students are engaged in an age-appropriate curriculum that includes literacy, math, hands-on inquiry based science, digital literacy, and the arts.
