Halloween Fun

Students have started listening to their winter concert songs for our concert on Thursday, December 7th. The concert will take place at Shapleigh Middle School with K/1 at 6 PM and 2/3 at 7 PM.

After working on our winter concert music students have been doing some fun Fall and Halloween themed activities.

2nd graders made rhythms out of their favorite candies and then performed it for the class.

3rd graders are adding instruments to Halloween poems to make "spooky sound stories".

Spooky Sound Poems Grade 3

3rd graders added instruments to spooky poems to make them sound poems! They worked in small groups to decide what words to play instruments on and what instrument sounded like what word.
Here is a video of us playing a pre-made sound poem as a class to get ideas:

Here are two groups' sound poems:

Students had fun working in small groups to create a unique, spooky sound poem!

Two fun videos from October

Catching up with my blog, here are two fun videos from October!

"Stirring the brew" song passing egg shakers to the beat by Mrs. Howe's 2nd grade class.

"Pass the Pumpkin" game by third graders with instruments and passing a pumpkin to the beat around the circle. Whoever the pumpkin lands on is out and moves over to the instrument rotation.
