Welcome to Unit 4! This unit will be a little different. We will mainly work on songs we have already learned in past units and learn how to count their rhythm, figure out the syllables, and write the songs on a five-line staff. If you have children younger than six singing along, let them continue to do just that—sing along. The written activities are designed for children older than six.
