Good morning!
Let’s continue singing some songs together.
Spring is upon us and I thought it would be fun to sing some songs about farms.
Here is a Just Dance video to get you moving as well!
Next, lets try clapping some rhythms:
Lastly this is the time when we normally sing some patriotic music, so try these ones out
Hello 2nd and 3rd grade!
Did you see the Flipgrids from last week?

there should be one for each recorder song! I saw some people recorded! Thank you. Keep it up!
Happy Monday!
Let’s sing some songs together!
Oh the weather outside is frightful…
Can you believe it snowed last week! Looks like this week will be a bunch of rain, so sing along with Rain, Rain, go away with me
Let’s try a dance song together!
Lastly, would you please try this Tempo activity by Mrs. Clark! Fast and slow means Tempo! Fast and slow means Tempo! Fast and slow means Tempo!
I miss you all! I’ll hop in to as many Meets as I can this week.
Happy Monday 4th and 5th Graders!
Did you try the Twist and The Limbo last week?
Remember, dances have always been part of popular music. What dances do you know?
Show me on this week’s Flipgrid!

Do you have a guitar or ukulele in your house with you?
Join me Monday at 1pm on The Facebook group (or right here afterwards) and play along!
Back to the Science of Sound, I would like you to please try the quiz on Google Classroom again. It is a review of all of our terms.
I also put together a quick review video that ends with the glass shattering! #Spoiler alert, it was pretty disappointing.
May the 4th be with you!
Let’s begin this week like every week, with We Are Cloverbank
Next, sing along with Baby Beluga! This time it’s my sister, Mrs. Clark from Winchester Elementary in West Seneca (Yes, my sister is also an elementary school music teacher…so was my dad!)
Her daughter Natalie makes (a big) appearance!
Next, let’s do another at-home Musication Video!
Add on to this with a Dance!
Lastly, please check out my virtual Music Room!
My suggestion is to click the Legos in the bottom-left corner.
May the 4th be with you!
We’re still working on reading treble clef notes! Some of you sent me some drawing of Treble Clefs and they looked amazing!
On top of the treble clef reading, I’ve also started a FlipGrid for recorder songs for the third graders.

You can record yourself playing any of our Recorder Monster songs, even ones from which you already have a belt.
The RecorderMonster.com password for May is “monster”. I will comment on each to say 1-2-3 or 4. Record as many as you’d like.
I’m also uploading all of the songs to this link:

Now on to Treble Clef once more. Here is a video from The Royal Irish Academy of Music that describes treble clef.
Here is another diagram. Hopefully you’re starting to see that where the note is on the staff determines it’s pitch. With letters, it’s a different shape that tells them apart. An “A” looks very different than a “B”, but in music, they’re all circles, so it depends on whether it’s on a line or a space, AND which line or space it’s on.
