Thanksgiving and Tambourines

This week at BSLK the students reviewed Kodaly hand signs: so, mi, la, and do. The students also met Piano, the mouse. The students learned that Piano means soft and quiet. The students sang and danced to an Indian song called "Pow Wow." The students also talked about what all we are thankful for and sang and danced to "Thanksgiving Song." The students learned the song "Five Fat Turkeys." At the end of class, we echoed rhythms with the drums. The students also learned that a fancy word for drumstick is MALLET.

This week at APS the students reviewed all of the Kodaly hand signs: do, re, mi, fa, so, la, and ti. The students sang to Piano, the mouse. The students remembered from last year that piano means soft and quiet. The students sang and danced to the Indian song, "Pow Wow." The students then reviewed "Blackbird" and "Rockin' Robin." Then the students played the tambourines and sang to "Tambourine Says Ching!"
