First Grade, Fine Arts, Set Five

We have fallen behind in our schedule, so I plan to catch up during this set.

• Franz Schubert
• I could not find any books in our library system that would interest a first grader, so we will just be using Child's Own and listening to cd's.
• I picked up a cd that has "Trout" Quintet on it.
• Frederic Chopin
• I picked up a set of cd's that has Chopin's Nocturnes. They are great for going to sleep.
• Chopin by Ann Rachlin -- this is in the Famous Children series; at the end of the book it mentions the Minute Waltz, Raindrop Prelude, and Cat Waltz. I searched in our library system and was able to find all three, but it is probably easier to just find them on YouTube.
• George Fredrick Handel
• Handel and the Famous Sword Swallower of Halle by Bryna Stevens -- this book brings the mood and magic of Handel and the seventeenth century to life in its spirited and humorous retelling of this biographical tale.
• I picked up a set of cds called The Handel Experience -- it has selections from Water Music, The Messiah, Joy to the World, and many others.
