Home Learning Lessons - Week of 4/6

Kindergarten-2nd Grade
Watch the Aiken Drum Singalong video.  Follow the directions in the video to create your own Aiken Drum!  When you are done with the video, make a Flipgrid video (links are in Mrs. Donovan's Google Classroom - 1st-4th grade only) to sing to me about your Aiken Drum, or email me a picture!



3rd-4th Grade
Watch the video tutorial for The Sevens beat keeping game.  Learn all four patterns and level up throughout the recorded music.  Then, choose your own school appropriate song.  Can you make it all the way to level 4?  Share a Flipgrid video (links are in Mrs. Donovan's Google Classroom) doing The Sevens with the song of your choice!



Optional Extension Activity: Did you like the Sevens?  See if you can level up to level 6 with this bonus video!  Feel free to include this in your Flipgrid!

Kitty Alone

This song is a lullaby, a song that can help you fall asleep. Mrs. Hiltz is going to play an instrument called a dulcimer to accompany the song.

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:

This song is important to our family because:

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!

Puff the Magic Dragon - Song Story

Hi Leicester Elementary!  I know we're stuck at home and missing our school and friends.  I wanted to sing you a story.  It's one of my favorites.  Maybe you can sing along!
