Hello families!
Enjoy the playlist of activities for this week (click on the playlist relevant to your student): Week of April 20th (Kinder, 1st, 2nd) or Week of April 20th (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. De Colores Song: We're learning a new song! De Colores translates to "The Colors" in English, and the song is an expression of joy of all of the colors we have. This website gives you the full translation of the lyrics. This week you may just listen to the song once or twice. Then, as you feel ready, please start to sing-a-long with me :)
<<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. Draw a Treble Clef/"Naughty Kitty Cat" Round: Kinders learn how to draw a Treble Clef, and 1st/2nd graders get to sing "Naughty Kitty Cat" in a Round. 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! (Bonus: if you want to sing along to "Happy" as well I've included it in the playlist).
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th
1. Review the notes on the 5-line staff, and then learn this fun game that uses our phrase "Every Good Banana Does Fabulous, FACE!"
<<2. Wiggle break: do some echo/canon clapping, or go to https://family.gonoodle.com>>
3. Bim Bum Biddi (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th): This game is so fun, everyone is doing it this week! Once you've learned my version you can (and should!) come up with your own.
<<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. (Bonus: if you want to sing along to "Happy" as well I've included it in the playlist).
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!
