Students in 3rd grade spent one class period learning "The Cup Game." Once they had mastered the cup game, they created their own version of the cup game. They turned out very creative. Below are 4 groups performing their cup game for the class.
Choir Warm-up "London's Burning" Hamilton Choir is made up of dedicated 4th and 5th grade students that come every B day morning before school to practice. We are working on harmony and 2-part singing. This warm-up, London's Burning, helps with singing in a round as well as helping students sing with rounded vowels. The video below their work in progress. They learned the warm-up and sang the round in 3 parts. This was their 1st attempt at 3 part singing and I was very impressed with the results! Mrs. Rowley's Kindergarten Class Mrs. Rowley's kindergarten students are excellent singers! Here they are singing a few lines of "Going to the Zoo" 4th Grade students have been working on composing a piece of music to fit certain passages from the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. This is a book that they read last year and are familiar with the story. Each group choose 1 of 3 passages to read out loud and make their music fit the mood of the passage. Below are some videos of these amazing compositions. Above is a group from Mrs. Buxton's class. They used their prior experience to include a piece of music they learned outside of school in addition to including instrument from the music room to fit the passage they choose. Above is another group with a different passage from The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. Can you tell that it is a different mood than the previous group?
