The CJL Bell Choir is composed of ten enthusiastic second graders who demonstrate a shared passion for music and performance. This newly-formed after-school club met weekly for five sessions leading up to the winter break, dedicating their time to furthering their musical skills. Student demonstrated excellence in both musical skill and character, serving as role models in the school community with their exceptional demonstration of our core values (safe, respectful, responsible, honest, courageous) and school attendance.  Music literacy serves as the cornerstone of our second-grade music curriculum. Students are actively learning to read notes on the staff, transitioning from iconic representations to standard notation, and applying their understanding of pitch in innovative ways aligned with notation reading. Handbells and desk bells play a pivotal role in this progression, as the color-coded, pitch-specific instruments labeled with letter names provide a tactile and visual bridge into music literacy. The Bell Choir participants have exhibited exceptional teamwork and collaboration throughout their rehearsals. Furthermore, they have displayed remarkable leadership in their general music classes, eagerly sharing their growing knowledge
