The overall focus this year is on the continent of Africa. We are doing this to commemorate the life of Nelson Mandela. As you many you are aware, he passed away in December. However, K and 1 have simple songs related to the Blues and a Spiritual.
The tentative plan so far is this
K-Get on Board
1st-Good Morning Blues-lyrics should be coming home
2nd-Acting out the West African Folk tale Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears.
3rd-Boat Song-folk song from Nigeria and will also play recorders. I have sent the music home on Edmodo. If students don't have a recorder, they can "air" recorder their part at home. Please ask them to log in and study the music. Also, there was supposed to be some poetry reading.
4th-Video presentation.
5th-Presentation on Mandela. Also, Mrs. Cation will ask specific students to talk about the artists that they studied this month.
Chorus may sing a song
I may also have my little drumming group play.
Thanks for all of your help and support. If you have any questions please let me know.
