Time Signature & Frogs!

Last week our Word of the Week was Time Signature.  This is a brand new word that we have never learned before!  Here is the song that we use to help us remember!

 

In 2nd Grade we also read a great book called Jump Frog Jump.

 

And, played along on a super cool instrument called the

Frog Guiro.

 

 

Mrs. Bryant's Class had a special friend who wanted to join in.  :)

 

Then, we sang 5 Little Speckled Frogs with some neat jumping frogs!  Check out this video to see the fun we had!

Low Rider

Last week in Music Class, 3rd and 4th Grade played along with a super cool song from the 70's called Low Rider. 

Here are a couple of classes!

 

(Kristin Lukow is who created this wonderful play along activity.  She is a great elementary music teacher in Nebraska!  Look for her on Facebook & YouTube!)

 

Videographer for this class was "Joe".  :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Land plays guitar!!!!

Did you know that Mrs. Land can play the guitar?!?!

Last week she stopped by my room and picked up my guitar and started playing!   I was surprised! So, I grabbed my phone and started recording!

Musical Mateys Spring Concert!

The Musical Mateys performed last week and did a FABULOUS job!  I am so proud of their hard work!

.

Here are a few of backstage pics from the concert!

Name That Tune!

This week in music, 5th graders did an activity called Name That Tune.  They were given this:

First, they had to name all of the notes.  (we've been working hard to learn the Treble Clef notes)

  Then, they chose a partner and an instrument.  They played each line on the xylophone and then guessed the name of the song!  They did great!!  I'm so proud of these musicians!!!

Mwa Ha Ha

This week we are using BOOMWHACKERS for the first time!  They are loads of fun!!!

Here is a video of Mrs. V's 4th graders playing Mwa Ha Ha!  Mwa Ha Ha is an awesome song by Plank Road Publishing.  You can hear it and lots of other songs here!
