Sub Procedures

Hello! Welcome to elementary school vocal music at Cloverbank Elementary School.

Here are all the details you need to know to start the day.

• Bus Duty: The day begins with Bus Duty at 9am at the Bus Doors. Please keep track of the buses coming in with the clipboard kept above the phone.
• Schedule: My schedule can be found on the file cabinet near my door or on the piano.
• Seating Charts: Seating charts are next to the computer.
• Clipboard: The clipboards on the piano are what I use to take notes about classes or students. Please jot down anything I should know. Left to right, the clipboard are one per day.
• Fire Drill: Exit the room, turn right, go outside to the grass beside the gym.
• Lockdown: Check the halls and allow any students in, lock the door, and go to the corner near the water fountain ensuring no students can be seen through the door window.
• Chorus (if today is chorus day): If you feel comfortable, the songs to be rehearsed are on the iPad in the app ForScore. A linked video explains the playlist. If you don’t want to run chorus, please let the office know at the beginning of the day so they can announce a cancellation.

Technology Notes:

• When you turn on the Newline board, select Computer Input.
• To display windows, drag them to the right to get them on the smartboard.
• The big volume knob on the receiver behind you (under the record player) controls all sound.

If you have any questions, call or email. If I don’t answer, Mrs. Dubel can help with music questions. Ms. Kelday (Library) or Mrs. Pawlak (Computer Lab) can help with technology. Nick Gallardo and Ali Dubel also have my cell phone.

Kindergarten and First Grade 1:18-2:03 & 2:06-2:51

You can use the video playlist at any time. It’s at the bottom. Something not going well? bail to the video playlist and choose whichever one you want.

Step 1: Instrument Setup

After the 2nd graders leave, place the color circles on the floor from right to left (as you look into the room from the doorway). Set up the instruments on each circle as follows:

Step 2: Activity Instructions (Kindergarten & 1st Grade)

1. Let Students In: Allow the kindergarten and 1st-grade students into the room 6 at a time.
2. Seating: Each student can either sit directly in front of an instrument circle or sit directly behind a student who is at an instrument line.
3. Playing: Play the video by Mr. Delgado. The students at the front of each line should play their assigned instrument along with the video.

Step 3: Rotation & Timing

• Rotation Routine:
  1. Pause the video/music after the song finishes.
  2. The students who just played set their instruments down on their respective color circles.
  3. Those players move to the back of a new instrument line.
  4. All remaining students in line step up one spot so the next child is ready to play.
  5. Restart the video/song.
• Duration: Run this rotation for 15 minutes (or longer if it is going exceptionally well).
• Goal: Have the students rotate as many times as possible so every child gets to try multiple instruments!

Transition! Play Pumpkin Pie Movement Song and have students follow the movements while you put all the instruments into the bin.
(Starts at 1:29)

Pass out two rhythm sticks each and follow along with Pumpkin Bones.

Activity 2: Pumpkin Bones (Rhythm Sticks)

Goal: Practice keeping a steady beat, controlling dynamics (soft vs. loud), and changing movement with the video.

Setup & Materials

• Distribute one pair of rhythm sticks to each student.

Playing Rules & Patterns

Follow along with the “Pumpkin Bones” video and match these actions:

1. Chorus (“Have you ever heard of pumpkin bones…”)

• Pattern: Play the “We Will Rock You” rhythm
  • How to play: Hit ground, Hit ground, Click sticks together!

2. Verses

• Pattern: Play a steady beat on the ground (Hit ground continuously on the beat).

3. Spoken / Action Section (“Oh no, what will we do? We must find out!”)

• Pattern: Stop playing sticks and imitate the cartoon kids’ movements shown on screen.

4. Final Chorus (Ending)

• Pattern: The music gets very quiet here—students must play the Chorus pattern as softly as possible while maintaining the rhythm.

5. Repeat song and do again

Put away sticks and distribute scarves. One per student “You get what you get and you’re ok with it”

Activity 3: Scarf Movement

Goal: Practice spatial movement, tracking music cues, and following visual patterns.

Instructions

1. Distribute Scarves: Pass out one movement scarf to each student.
2. Play Videos: Play the two scarf song videos featuring Mr. Panfil on the screen.
3. Follow Along: Students move their scarves to mirror the actions and movements demonstrated by Mr. Panfil on screen.

Still time? Bail to the video list 🙂
Have them come to the ground to be comfortable.
