Beat Charts, Watercolors, and Instruments
October 2019: This month, 4th graders used watercolors to create illustrations of one of their favorite song games, "We Are Dancing In the Forest." They were especially excited to take their illustrations (with lyrics printed on the back) home so that they could teach the game to their families. Meanwhile, 2nd and 3rd graders explored some of our classroom percussion instruments, and kindergartners used heart cutouts to create "beat maps" of phrases of songs they're learning.
