Family Folk Song Project

In music class, we sing folk songs from around the world.  We learn about the culture of our community through folk songs.  While you are home with your family, learn a song your family likes to sing.  Maybe this is a song from your family's culture.

Families: Please teach your child to sing a song from your family that they can share with Mrs. Hiltz and their class.  The song could be a song you learned as a child, including a lullaby, hand clapping game, or finger play.  I would love to hear songs in the variety of languages our students speak at home!  This could also be a good opportunity to call a grandparent or older family member to see if they have a song they could teach you.

Here are some questions you can answer about the song you learn:

I would love it if you could sing me the song using the "Music Share" FlipGrid, found in Mrs. Donovan's Google Classroom, or email me a recording of your child or family singing the song at hiltza@lpsma.net.

Though we miss our school family, this could be a good opportunity to learn something new or share a treasured family memory with your children.  I look forward to hearing your family folk songs!
