Hello families!
Enjoy the playlist of activities for this week (click on the playlist relevant to your student): Week of April 13th (Kinder, 1st, 2nd) or Week of April 13th (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th) or IS students (information at end of post). I'll also include links to each video below if you'd rather have 1 video available at a time.
These activities are based on the at-home music lesson templates I explain in this video.
Below I suggest when you can add other activities that don't involve our Youtube channel (those will have << >> around them to show you'll need to have other materials available). Remember: do what works for your family. Have fun, and happy music making!
Kinder, 1st, and 2nd
1. Echo and canon clapping game: do the echo/canon clapping with me in the video, or make some rhythms and sounds with someone in your house.
2. Ni hao Jambo Greetings Song: sing and move to this fun song. Kinders and 2nd graders know this already, 1st graders enjoy learning this fun song.
<<3. Music Book: read a music book, or watch someone else read a music related book to you>>
<<4. Wiggle Break: do some more echo/canon clapping, or go to https://family.gonoodle.com>>
5. Ekaki Uta/2-line staff compositions: Kinders draw and sing some Ekaki Uta, and 1st/2nd graders get to write music on their 2 line staff. If you want to do both activities instead of just one, go for it!
<<6. Make some music: play an instrument in your house, sing-a-long to any video our Mrs. Harreld's youtube channel, use a virtual instrument (like this piano website: https://www.apronus.com/music/flashpiano.htm), or make choices in a music game (digital or otherwise). Check out this blog post for more ideas >>
7. Little Hawks Song: sing our Little Hawks and remember you're not alone!
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th
1. How-to videos: review how to draw/read a treble clef, how to read/use a time signature, and how to read ledger lines on the treble clef staff (watch 2 or 3 of these videos depending on time)
<<2. Wiggle break: do some echo/canon clapping, or go to https://family.gonoodle.com>>
3. De Colores (3rd), Treble Clef Staff Composition (4th), flat.io Compositions (5th/6th):
---3rd grade: Sing De Colores with the video 3 times, then perform it for someone in your home
--- 4th grade: Recreate "Hot Cross Buns" on a treble clef staff on paper, or in flat.io (Here is a link to our Recorder Book in case you forgot the notes :)
---5th grade: Create a new score in flat.io using 3 different instruments and 4 complete measures
---6th grade: Create a new score in flat.io using 3 different instrument, 4 complete measures, and include the following rhythms: pair of eighth notes, quarter note, quarter rest, half note, half rest
I will be looking at your work through my teacher account. No need to worry about connecting to my class if you haven't! We'll be connected b/c you have to use your district email to log in, and we're all under the same school license. Also, if you don't have access to flat.io you can draw your music staff for each instrument on paper and write your music that way :)
<<4. Make some music/musical choices! Play an instrument (remember, a cup is an instrument!), sing a song, dance to music, draw to music, make choices in a musical game (check out this blog post for more ideas), or listen to music>>
5. Little Hawks Song: Sing with me and remember you're not alone! We're all in this together.
Ms. W-J and Ms. Arbuckle's students
Please review the notes names in our boom whacker videos, or choose from one of the playlists above to enjoy! You can practice the boom whacker songs by picking one note (A, B, C, D, E, F, or G) to clap every time it appears. I know a bunch of you liked "E" (the yellow one), so you can try clapping only when the yellow "E" appears and move on from there :)
Skeleton Dance
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Smashing Pumpkins
Pirates of the Caribbean
Ghostbusters
Popcorn II (the harder version)
Popcorn I (the easier version)
How Far I'll Go
If a student would like feedback about their performance, or they have questions, they can fill out this google form using their district email and I'll respond there: Get Feedback from Mrs. Harreld
Miss you all tons, take care!
