Welcome back from Labor Day weekend! I hope everyone had a fantastic break! Every year, we review and learn about basic rhythms. Most of our students that are three years or older are familiar with seeing quarter notes and rests around for music, but it is something we will continually be reviewing. Many activities and refreshers will be based around the music concepts we learn throughout the year: quarter notes, rests, dynamics, styles, etc.
Today we used symbols, worksheets and a song to learn about and refresh on the quarter note and quarter rest symbol. You can find many resources right here on my blog for extender activities at home; simply type "quarter note" in my search bar at the top and tons of entries and resources will pop up!
I wanted to make sure and link this song, which is something I sing with the children regularly to help reinforce quarter notes.
It's simply called "The Quarter Note" song and yes--that is me singing in the recording! =)
