Mr. Irwin's class writing

Students in Mr. Irwin's class had a question to answer about some songs they learned in Music class.

"Kuma San" with Instrumental Accompaniment - Ms. Huebner's Class

Ms. Huebner's Third Grade class added a very simple accompaniment to the song "Kuma San" (in Japanese it means "Honorable Bear"). 

This group keeps the steady beat with the Boomwhackers.

Se Se Se - A Japanese Singing Game (Ms. Alt's Class)

In Ms. Alt's class, students are learning to identify when there is a beat with sound and a beat with no sound.  As an extension activity, students learned how to play a Japanese singing game after they were able to identify where in the song there are beats with no sound.  You'll see by the pictures that the students thoroughly enjoyed the game!  And it's easy enough that we think you'll be able to play it as well.

Rock, paper, or scissors?

Who wins?

Se, se, se ...

...no yoi, yoi, yoi.

Ocha-lacka, ocha-lacka...

...ocha-lacka hoi!

Ocha-lacka, ocha-lacka ...

...ocha-lacka hoi!
