This week the third graders began work on "Ode To Joy." We also continued our work on "Pentatonic Moon," a song that utilizes the American Indian scale. I brought in some Indian flutes for the kids to examine.The round things out in a Halloween mood we played a fun chanting game that taught note durations for half notes, quarter notes, eighth notes and quarter rests. A wonderfully spooky experience!
Homework -- continue work on Pentatonic Moon and learn the first line of Ode to Joy. Those of you who did not do your homework from last time -- developing your own sayings for the lines and spaces on the treble clef. Ms. Caruso's class -- also do the first line of Jingle Bells. Ms. Limb's class -- I look forward to reading your Indian compositions.
