1st and 2nd Grade: August Composer of the Month

This week we are finishing up our Composer of the Month study of Johann Sebastian Bach or as we like to call him in class, Mr. Bach. The students have learned several facts about him and would love to share them with you. Questions to ask your students about him include:
  • What country is he from?
  • What instrument was he very good at playing?
  • What virtue did he show?
  • How many children did he have?
  • What is the name of one of the pieces he wrote that we listened to in class?
We were able to listen to:
