2nd Grade
October- After singing the song "Apple Tree," we reviewed quarter note and two eighth notes, which we count as "ta" and "ti-ti". We practiced creating our own compositions by using rainbow colors and clapping the rhythm of the words. We will be reviewing quarter rest next! We are doing some fun fall and spooky activities as well!
August/September- We have been practicing steady beat in music class! We have practiced steady beat by patting our legs and using "spider fingers," and walking to different beats played on a drum. We have also practiced different locomotor (i.e., walk, run, skip, gallop) and non-locomotor movements (wiggle, jump, wave, spin). We have played some fun games like "sleeping bunnies" and "Apple Tree." We also learned echo songs and call and response songs.
