Mrs. Sack's class dances!

Today during Music class, we decided we needed to DANCE!  I put on "Just Dance" videos from YouTube and we have a blast.  Here are pictures of the students doing the moves for "Eye Of The Tiger."  Enjoy!

Loud/Soft using a dial - Ms. Hebert's class

Often times, students use the words "low" and "high" when they really mean "soft" and " loud."  It is no surprise; we all often say to turn the volume "down low" or "up high."  Students in Ms. Hebert's class experimented with the idea of saying loud/soft while using a huge "dial" on the board to represent their thoughts.  They chose a short song for us to sing and then we all had to follow the dial as they moved it, making our singing louder or softer as necessary to match the dial.  It was a lot of fun!

Loud/Soft Movement - Worden & Simon

Students move to show the differences they hear in the music.

Marching for loud and tip-toeing for quiet.

 

Rock Passing Game - Mrs. Sack's class

Students in Mrs. Sack's class learned a song and game about passing "rocks" (really, beanbags).  The song comes from Africa, and you'll hear them singing in an African language called Akan.  If they do the movements right, you will see them move the beanbags around the circle like a machine.
