2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade students went to the computer lab to use Brain Pop in preparation of our trip on Monday. We did the lesson on Brass Instruments. We watched them movie, took the quiz, and emailed the quizzes to Mr. Thomas. Hopefully, all the grade will be thoroughly prepared for this trip.
K-1 finished up Tick-Tock. Tick Tock
The objective was Steady beat and playing the steady beat on orff instruments and temple blocks, solfege objective so, mi, do.
Here is the process:
1. Teacher sings the song and has students join in when they know the song
2.Continue singing the song until students can sing without teacher
3.Divide class into two groups.
1.Orff instruments
2.Circle game with temple blocks and rhythm sticks
Game:Students sit in a circle. The temple blocks and a containter of rhytm sticks are in the center of the circle. One child is chosen to be the first temple block player. The studets sing the son and pass one bean bag/tennis ball around the circle to the right on the beat. Whoever has the bean bag on the word "song" will be the next temple block player on the next repition of the song. The child who was chosen before the game started plays the first solo. During this solo the orff instruments rotate over one instrument. After playing solo, the first temple block player gets a pari rhythm sticks and retures to his seat in class. When the song begins again, the ball gets passed around and the rhythm stick players keep a steady beat along with the Orff instruments. After all have had a turn at the temple blocks, switch orff instrument with rhythm stick players
