Good morning!

Please text if you need anything in the morning 940-3762. Just pick and choose, or have the classes choose songs/activities from the lists below. I've left some options for books on my desk and this is a great site https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/ to open up at the end of class and explore if there is extra time to fill on a Friday! Students can take turns coming up to the smart board :)

Students should have sanitized their hands before music class, if anyone did not sanitize please ask them to sanitize before using the instruments.

Thank you!

Once I caught a fish a live

6 7 8 9 10

Than I let it go again

I love the mountains

I love the rolling hills

I love the flowers

I love the daffodils

I love the fireside

When all the lights are low.

Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da,

Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ay..

Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da,

Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ay.

Teacher note: Ask students to sing /show actions they know. Ask for leaders to come to the front of the class. Sing a few times, then just do the actions while singing inside their head!

Check out the cute Teddy Bear video below as well!

Have students sing and show you the actions! Choose some new student leaders. Play video for accompaniment.

When I was one, I ate a bun! Going over the sea.

I jumped aboard a pirate ship and the pirate said to me.

Going over, going under, stand at attention like a soldier.

With a one two three!

• When I was two, I buckled my shoe!

• When I was three, I banged my knee!

• When I was four, I closed the door!

• When I was five, I learned to drive!

• When I was six, I picked up sticks!

• When I was eight, I learned to skate!

• When I was nine, I learned to climb!

• When I was ten, I caught a hen!

Hello Mr. Gauthier and Grade 2!

Grade 2 students are rehearsing for their spring concert. Please have some "helper" students from each class show you the routine with each piece below. Music students, remember we will be recording soon so please do your best and play musically.

1. Garden song - Sing along with the video and choose a few leaders to do the actions at the front of the class.

2. Who's That? - Students should go to the same instrument they were at at the END of class last music day. If there are any issues remembering which student was at which spot just ask them to share with someone and I will sort it out next time. Don't worry, we will figure out a great spot for everyone! Choose a few students to demonstrate each instrument part and which words it matches up with!

3. Drumming with Numbers - Have students show you the body percussion parts for this - no drums today please.

1 =head taps

2= shoulder taps

3=pat

4= stomp

4. Watch Firefly Video - They will learn the flashlight routine next week!

5. Read The Bad Seed - Just if extra time to fill or play a game :)

Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row

Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

Till the rain comes tumbling down

Pulling weeds and picking stones

We are made of dreams and bones

Feel the need to grow my own

Cause the time is close at hand

Grain for grain, sun and rain

Find my way in nature's chain

Tune my body and my brain

To the music from the land

Plant your rows straight and long

Temper them with prayer and song

Mother Earth will make you strong

If you give her love and care

Old crow watching hungrily

From his perch in yonder tree

In my garden I'm as free

As that feathered thief up there

Inch by inch, row by row

Gonna make this garden grow

All it takes is a rake and a hoe

And a piece of fertile ground

Inch by inch, row by row

Someone bless these seeds I sow

Someone warm them from below

Till the rain comes tumbling down

Hello Grade 3!

Please play through some of your favourite songs for Mr. Gauthier. Rain rain (pg. 25), and Engine Engine (pg. 27) would be great as a warm up.

Then try learning some of Acka Backa. This is a song you have heard before in grade 2 or 1 but its new on your recorders! You do already know all the notes you need. Check out these tutorials to help learn the song. I'll help you more on Friday as well.

Music Experiments

Do some music experiments as a class together. Choose quiet students to come up to the Smart Board (sanitize first!) and explain these cool games!
