Music Week 26

We finally finished working on the Hip-Hop projects. I began transferring files from the mac laptops to my flash drive for grading.I will post a rubrick for my grading soon.

Third Grade classes learned a Boomwhacker Song-Down By the Station. Here is how we did it:

-NeedLow C red, Dorange, E yellow, F lime Green, G blue-green, High C red (one per student)
-Formation:C's on one side of room, E's and G's on the other side of room, D's and F's in center

Process:
Teach song by rote
Teach body percussion pattern. Transfer to tubes
Sing song with tubes
Add cabasa
Teach coda. Add to song

Can also be taught to 2nd or 4th grade

In 1-2 we did a book: Froggy Gets Dressed. A story with musical sound effects. The song was:

Flop, Flop, Flop went Froggy
Flop, Flop, Flop 'cross the floor
Floop, Flop, flop went Froggy
It's timed to get dressed once more

I Selected students to play the Orff xylophones, drums, guirowhile I read the story.

Kindergarten is still talking about the difference between speaking and singing voice. We learned Bee, Bee Bumble Bee Rhyme. We also read Froggy Gets Dressed but I taught K movement.
