Good afternoon 2nd, 1st, and Kindergarteners! Please listen to your guest teacher and be ROCK STARS! I am out sick today and I am so sad to not be with you.
First, lets watch a couple of videos for our NEW instrument of the month, Melodic Percussion. Melodic percussion is any instrument you have to hit to make its sound come out, but it makes a melody or song. So even though you have to hit a drum for its sound to come out, a drum is not melodic percussion. But a xylophone is because you can play a melody on it AND you have to hit the bars to make their sound come out.
Now, let's do a fun movement song. Just listen to the directions, and do the movements around the music room. Make sure to keep your hands and body in SELF SPACE! When the song tells you to run, just run in place.....no running around the room!
Have a seat back on your spots. Now I want you to sing along with our friend, Mr. DelGaudio to a song called "Autumn is Here". Copy his moves and try to sing along. When the video gets to the "now it's your turn" part, you can stop the video and repeat it from the beginning. We will add the instruments you see on the screen to this song next week!
Thanksgiving will be here before you know it! This song is one of my FAVORITES! Copy the dancers, and echo the "gobbles" to Mrs. DeBoer's favorite disco turkey song!
Here is a silly version of a song called "Popcorn".
Now we are going to play the boomwhackers to this song! To play them, you hold it by the sticker in the middle and tap the entire tube on the floor either in front of you or to your side. Do not hold it by the end and do not hit it hard! It can crack and squish them and then they don't sound good anymore!
Follow the video and only tap your color when the little sheep is on top of your color!
Colors needed: purple (A), pink (B), red (C), yellow (E), dark green (G), light green (F)
Now give your color to a friend who didn't have a turn yet and repeat the video. IF you have any time left after that, you can have 2nd turns with different colors.
