Musical Timeline is for 5th graders. They are working on a google slides project already in progress. Most will not need this document as they has transferred all questions into their slides project for their research.

Countries of interest is for 6th grade cultural music projects. Most will not need this document as they have already transferred questions into their slides projects. Most are in the research phase of the project.

Music activity sheet is for all ages. Download and print, then see how many activities you can complete while you are home. Have a parent initial each completed activity and bring it to school for your choice of personal rewards (see 2nd page of document). There are class rewards for classes with the most completed forms.

For anyone with a keyboard at home, or any instrument really, you can try these songs. I keep the piano keys labeled at school so kids can play the songs quicker. I will see if I can upload a labeled picture of piano keys for home use.

The black keys are set in groups of 2 and 3. The white key before a group of 2 black keys is always C. It goes according to the alphabet from there... C D E F G A B C (and keeps repeating). The black keys are labeled as you see them. Depending on the key of your song, you might see, for example, a C# or a Db but they are the same note (if that doesn't make sense, don't worry about it, its more advanced than what we get into in elementary school). Use this picture as a guide. There are plenty of youtube videos devoted to labeling your piano keys.
