Hello Little Tigers! Spring Break starts after school today! So, remember work first than play.
Note to parents: don't stress over music and PE activities. Ms. Conley and I give these activities as brain breaks and family fun activities. Make family memories during this crazy time!
For today's music classes, you can check out the shaker videos again and use the shaker you made earlier this week. I loved seeing the shakers you made!
K-1 kiddos: don't forget your Quaver accounts. I have a fun Disco lesson available for family fun time!
Since break starts soon: let's dance out the end of another week of home schooling!
We have 4 days and then you are on Spring Break! If we were at school, we would be using my Easter egg shakers this week and doing lots of fun stuff with them.
So, I have a challenge for you this week!
Challenge: Make a homemade shaker with beautiful stuff from around your home!
Here are tips to help you out:
1. First, you must find a container. (Easter eggs, empty water bottle, or empty container)
2. Second, find something to put inside your shaker. (rice, beans, beads, dry food....)
3. Be creative and have fun!
4. Share your shaker with Mrs. Carroll on your class page!
5. Enjoy the following shaker videos!
**I Know Chicken by Laurie Berkner (echo sing with her and play your shaker when she tells you too!) I love this song!!!!
Here is one of my favorites (I will miss singing it with you guys)
Ideas: Sing along and play your shaker. You could also stand and hop with your shaker on the A part. Freeze on the B part (He's got jelly beans for Tommy.....)
The spring weather has been amazing lately! Hopefully you've been in your yard playing some!
Play your shaker with Vivaldi's music (Steady beat on the A part)
Here is a fun song to play your shaker and sing along!
Enjoy your shaker fun! Have a great week and remember to be safe! Mrs. Carroll misses all of you a bunch!!
For those that have PE, before you go outside and enjoy the spring weather: Enjoy this fun video that just happens to be one of Ms. Conley's favorites.
Have a great weekend!
Next week, we will be making homemade shakers and doing some of the shaker activities we would have done in music class before spring break! So be looking around your house for items you could use to make a shaker.
Examples: empty bottles/containers, Easter eggs, etc.
March is Music in our School's Month, so let's continue celebrating it even though we are home! We read a book at the beginning of the month called "Because" and I loved the discussions we had in Kindergarten.
Does your family play music? If they do, share in the comments below!
Today we have a book called "My Family Plays Music". After we read the book, I will share some other videos to go along with the different genres/styles of music and instruments we heard about.
Questions:
1. Can you name 2 family members and what they played.
2. Can you name 2 styles of music that were mentioned in the book?
3. What did the narrator (little girl) play?
4. What did her daddy say she was? Why did he say this?
At the end, they say the whole family celebrates. Right now Let’s celebrate with our family and watch this fun video!
I hope you enjoyed this lesson!
Extra activity: draw a picture of you and your family playing or making music. You could also write about what you drew.
When finished, hang it up and if possible share it with Mrs. Carroll.
I want to start of by saying I love all of the pictures and videos of the learning taking place at your homes. Good job!!
Let's start off with a dance party today to celebrate all the learning you have been doing!
Now since it's Wednesday, it's a gym day! It's a rainy day, so you will have to move inside today. Try balancing a book on your head and walking around your couch or table. Do some jumping jacks, hula, or jumping in place.
Here are some more fun videos to get you up and moving!
