Week of June 1st Music Lesson/Activities

Hello families!

The activities I recommend are still based on the at-home music lesson template I explain in this video. If you want more variety you can go to this blog post for K-2 ideas, and this blog post for ideas for 3rd-6th grade.

Kinder, 1st, and 2nd
1. Echo/canon clapping: Do at least 8 echo rhythms and 4 canons
2. Count on Me: For our last song for the year, I would like for you to learn "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars. We'll be singing this at the Music Party on Friday :)
3. A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea: we read and dance to this songbook in class. Enjoy the read aloud video, and dance if you remember the game we played!
4. Zumba time: This week is all about moving to music. Do you recognize the Zumba teacher??
5. More Zumba: And, more dancing
6. And, one more song! If you still have energy, give one more song a try. This song is one of my favorites :)
7. Little Hawks Song: Sing the Little Hawks song, and remember you're not alone. I hope you enjoyed your music movement lesson!

3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th
1. Zumba time: This week is all about moving to music! Let's start with a warm up song. Do you recognize the Zumba teacher??
2. More Zumba: Yep, more dancing!
3. And, one more song! If you still have energy, give one more song a try. This song is one of my favorites :)
4. Learn some body percussion: This choir song uses body percussion (stomping, patting, clapping). Can you learn the pattern AND the song??? If you learn the body percussion, the song, or both, please upload a video to FlipGrid for me to see.
2. Sing "Count on Me" this is the song we'll be singing at our Music Party on Fridays for the rest of the year. Please learn it, so you can sing with me :)

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!
