First off we had Labor Day on Monday. On Tuesday we resumed our normal routine. 3rd-5th grade resumed learning their instruments. We also talked about note values of quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes. Students will have a quiz on how to hold their instrument in about 2 weeks.
K-1 continued to learn about beat but we used the song Walk Right In. I had the students find the beat of the song first. Then we walked around the room to the beat. Finally, we came up with different ways to move to the beat. For example, walking like a chicken or robot or pretending to skate.
2nd grade continued studying beat but this time we used the American street game Down, Down Baby. I told students that this is another game that is played in different ways throughout the country. I taught them the moves. I was supposed to teach them how to play some instruments with it but we ran out of time and I have to save if for next week.
