Cobbler, Cobbler

Preschoolers and Kindergarteners are practicing keeping the steady beat with instruments.  Right now, we are keeping the beat with claves to imitate the sound of a hammer.  We discussed how a cobbler was a shoemaker who used small tacks to hold his shoes together.  He would need to use a hammer to make his shoes.

As students sang the song, one student kept the beat with the claves.  Our steady beat has really improved since the beginning of the year!

Our song goes like this:

Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe. 
Have it done by half past two.
Turaluralu.

Half past two is much too late,
Have it done by half past eight.
Turaluralu. 

Hear Miss Randell's Kindergarten class sing this song and play the claves in the video below.
