Hi Kindergarten Families!
Since we can’t be with you today for music class, here are some songs and activities that are similar to what we would work on in music class. Feel free to go through these activities in any order or follow the order listed below.
You should spend about 20 minutes on this music. Have fun!
Step 1 - We want to make sure we warm-up our singing voices. Use your singing voice to follow these Vocal Exploration Flashcards and make high sounds and low sounds.

OPTIONAL BONUS PROJECT
This week, our 1st-5th Grade Field students are helping us collect songs that Field Families love to sing. This is not a requirement for the Kindergarten music lesson this week, but if your family is interested in sharing a song, please read the directions listed below and fill out this Google Form. The Google Form requires parent support to complete, but it is completely optional. If you would prefer to skip this optional activity, that is okay!
If you play the video below, I will read the directions to you. Or you can scroll down below the video and read the directions on your own.
Family Song Project - Recording of Directions.movFamily Song Mini Project:
All the 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and 5th Grade students at Field have the same learning activity for music this week. This means it would be great if you could do this together with any brothers or sisters you have who go to Field School.
This week you are going to be thinking about a song that you learned from a grown-up in your family. When we are young, grown-ups often teach us songs that they learned when they were kids or songs that are important to our families. Think about a song that a grown-up in your family taught you. Here are helpful things to think about:
- It could be a song lots of people know like the Itsy Bitsy Spider or Happy Birthday or it could be a song that not too many people know. Both are great!
- It could be a song that is in English or it could be a song that is in another language.
- It could be a song you sing for fun whenever you feel like it or a song that you sing for a special celebration or holiday.
- This could be a song any grown-up in your family taught you. It could be a mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, grown-up cousin, and anyone else in your family who is a grown-up!
After you have thought of a song you learned from a grown-up in your family, please fill out the Google Form. If you have brothers and sisters, work with your brothers and sisters to fill out the Google form.
-IF you have more than one song you want to share with us, please fill out separate forms for each song.
-IF you and your brothers and sisters have different songs you want to share, you can fill out separate forms.
-EVERYONE will need to ask a grown-up at home to answer the last three questions of the survey.
If you need help, there are examples attached for you to look at. Have fun!
