1st Graders just learned a new simple song called "Hop Old Squirrel." Students learn simple songs through the whole song approach. They listen to the song several times until they have internalized it and can sing it themselves. Luckily, we could have the squirrel do all sorts of motions and act them out to keep us busy while we listened.
After a few weeks of just listening, students were able to sing the song independently. They sang as a whole class, small groups, and then many students sang a solo! Students who sang a solo got to add a fall leaf to our solo singing wall.
