Music - Third Grade

The virtual music room, week 10 welcome message/objectives

Hello musicians!

As always, you can pick one activity to do or all of them!

Let's be inspired by the group that I talk about with the book Ada's Violin. They created their own instruments from recycled materials,,,and you can too! This may be a fun week to make a recycled instrument from objects around your house. I have included a video on how to do it with straws, but if you choose this activity, you can do it however you would like. You can take a picture and send it to me when you'r done, njames@mascnenic.org

Also, I'm going to share with you one of my favorite songs, I Don't Want to Live On the Moon.

Many of you have been enjoying the bucket drumming activities, so I will be posting those on google classroom this week.

Love, Mrs. James

Well, I'd like to visit the moon

On a rocket ship high in the air

Yes, I'd like to visit the moon

But I don't think I'd like to live there

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love

So although I might like it for one afternoon

I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea

I could meet all the fish everywhere

Yes, I'd travel under the sea

But I don't think I'd like to live there

I might stay for a day there if I had my wish

But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish

And an oyster and clam aren't real family

So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar

Go back in time and meet a dinosaur

There's so many strange places I'd like to be

But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon

Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then

I will make a wish on a star

And I'll wish I was home once again

Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above

I would miss all the places and people I love

So although I may go I'll be coming home soon

'Cause I don't want to live on the moon

No, I don't want to live on the moon
