2nd Graders came back to an old favorite song from 1st grade, but with an added layer of difficulty for 2nd grade.
We started off our year reviewing the song "Closet Key" and playing the accompanying guessing game. One student would hold a key and another student would have to guess who had the key by listening for their classmates singing louder and softer. This game incorporated student solos, and almost every student sang a solo on this song!
After students remembered the song, they were asked to decode the rhythm of the song. Using rhythm syllables, students could sing the song, demonstrating understanding of the correct rhythm. Soon, we will learn to read and write these rhythm patterns as well!
Hear Ms. Steiger's 2nd grade class sing the song, then decode the rhythm using the links below:
