This week we are having fun reviewing our rhythms!
We broke up into three small groups. The groups got to name themselves, which was very fun! They also were given a selection of rhythm index cards, which they arranged to make two measures of music with four beats in each measure! The available not choices were quarter notes, quarter rests, and whole notes. Each measure began with a treble clef card and a four/four time signature notation. The results were some very creative two measure songs with neat names! I've shared the music by group below, and we also took a video of our performance, which each group got to do in front of the class!
Ask your child what group they were in today, and what they learned!
GROUP ONE: DOGGIES
GROUP TWO: PUPPIES
GROUP THREE: BEETLEHAWK3
PERFORMANCE VIDEO:
We also played a fun game of "hide and seek bell". We hid the bell and groups of kids held hands and tried to search for the bell in the Recreation Room. The twist was that, rather than say "hot" or "cool" as teams approached the hidden item, the rest of the group sang piano or forte to the tune of "Row Row Row Your Boat". Everyone had a blast!
ALSO ON THE AGENDA THIS WEEK:
SWEET RHYTHMS
We will be using M&M candies to make rhthyms this week. The colors will represent different values and the kids will need to come up with the correct combo in order to earn their M&Ms. The fun part about this project is that we get to EAT it when we are done!!! :)
