Hello from Mrs. Verdichizzi! I miss you all so much and I hope that you are all healthy and safe.

Our time together this year in music is now coming to an end. I thank all of you who participated each week in music activities. I hope you were able to find an activity that you liked from the choices that were listed and that you were able to learn about music notes, sounds, rhythms, and instruments.

If you want to contact me, you still can anytime. Just send an email to mverdich@catskillcsd.org. I will be checking email often and I will respond as soon as possible.

If you have something you would like me to see, you can have your parents/guardians help you take a picture or video of it and attach it to an email that you send me. Please include your name on anything you send me.

I will still check my Music Grade 3 Google Classroom from time to time too, so feel free to leave a message there or check that classroom for activities you can do. You would need to make sure you have joined my classroom by entering this code: odikxvd Give it a try!

I wish you all the best. Remember, be respectful, be responsible, and stay safe and healthy!

Keep singing, keep listening, keep performing, and have fun!

After you watch and listen to the video, play it again. If you listen, you will hear someone clapping the beat in the background, and you can try to clap along to the beat of the song. It's a catchy song and I bet if you listen to it a few times, you will be able to sing it too

Directions for the worksheet:

(Remember you need to print it first to be able to do the work on the sheet.)

Try to remember the notes we learned and how many beats (the number) each note gets. Then look at the Mine Craft cobblestones and choose the amount of stones that equals the number of beats the note would get. Don't forget to include your name and your homeroom teacher's name on your paper and take a picture and email mverdich@catkillcsd.org if you want me to see your work.

APRIL 13- 17 MUSIC WORK

HERE ARE three ACTIVITIES FOR YOU TO TRY. choose one for the week or try all three!

HAVE FUN!

1) Click on this link and enjoy hearing the musical story, "Ah Music."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9louO2xxhM

When you finish listening to the story, tell me what you learned about music. Make a list of 3 things the story teaches you about music. Make sure you remember to put your name on your paper, and you can have someone take a picture of your list and email it to me at mverdich@catskillcsd.org

2) Try the worksheet below titled, "Treble Spelling Bee." Remember to use the two methods we learned in music class for letter naming the notes of the lines and spaces on the music staff. Always start from the bottom line or space of the music staff and use the spelling of the word face - F A C E to remember the names of the space notes, and our burger sentence - Every Good Burger Deserves Fries - to remember the names of the line notes.

When you finish the worksheet, you can have someone help you take a picture of the completed worksheet and email it to me at mverdich@catskillcsd.org.

3) Here's an activity for you to try. Create a shaking tambourine instrument.

Directions:

1. Decorate two paper plates.

2. Hold the two paper plates together and tape, glue, or staple all around the edges. (leave a small section open to add what you will use to make the shaking sound.)

3. Add something to the inside of your tambourine to make a shaking sound such as small stones, rice, beans, or beads. Then finish closing the last edge.

4. Now you have a shaking tambourine that you can use to shake different rhythms with.

Have some fun with your tambourine. Create your own shaking rhythm pattern, or shake along to your favorite song. You can have someone make a video of you playing, or take a picture of your tambourine that you created, and send it to my email: mverdich@catskillcsd.org.
