Mrs. Platt

Hello, DES Kids!

I hope you can find some fun music ideas to do while at home. Know that I miss your smiles, hugs, and sweet voices, and I look forward to seeing you as soon as possible.

In the meantime -- Stay healthy, Stay kind, Stay kids!

Music “Things to Do” or Explore during the next few weeks!

-Make an instrument! Use your imagination! Some examples are: you can make your own guitar with rubber bands and boxes, use CLEAN glass jars or pop bottles and put varying amounts of water in them and blow over them to make music, pots and pans and spoons (with your parents’ permission, of course!!) make great drums! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU COME UP WITH!! MAKE A VIDEO AND SHARE IT!!

-4th Graders - Keep listening to your musical songs in your GoogleDrive. We will HOPEFULLY reschedule your performance!!

-5th Grade Musical Monarchs - Go to jwpepper.com and listen to our songs to keep those fresh in your memory too! (Titles are “Tyger,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” “Dream a Dream,” and “Composers All Around.”)

-PBS Kids Website (geared a little more to the younger kids, but might be fun!! Or something you and a younger sibling can do together!)
