FLS Music Activities From Home

Dear Parents/Guardians, and Students:

There may be a district music activity list being sent out. I wanted to make my own available as an option. Stay safe and healthy out there! You can send me any questions via email.

K-6 activities:

See Links We Use for a list of fun websites to check out. There is something for every level there.

See Docs for activities. The Musical Bingo pdf is a great tool to use for a variety of activities (with and without technology). I encourage you to download and print a copy as there are personal and class incentives for completing and returning it.

Keep singing! Find your music source and just sing along. Teach your family games we play in music class too.

Make your own instrument.

Make up a song.

Write about your favorite band or your families' favorite music.

Grades 3 & 4:

We were learning the recorders in class. All 4th graders received an order form for recorders. Since we will not be in school, the date on the form is no longer valid. Should any 4th graders wish to order their own recorders, bring the order form and money back when we return to school. Any 3rd graders who didn't order a recorder have a 2nd chance to do so now.

See Links We Use for the Carnegie Hall/Orchestra Moves/ Link up program. Those with recorders home can download the music (we started come play with me) and practice at home. There are recordings you can use to learn the vocal parts as well.

Grades 5 & 6:

We were working on your google slides projects for cultural music. 5th grade has the musical timeline and 6th grade has the countries. Keep working on those. If you and your partner can work out a time when you both can be online, you can work on the project at the same time and send comments to each other from within the document. See Docs for the question list that applies to you (although we should be beyond that document at this point).

Email me (pmckenne@oswego.org) any questions you have and I will get back to you within a day.

Chorus:

See the chorus pages (morning chorus has a separate page) for an important form. We need to think about our June concert. Please submit as many songs as you want for consideration on this concert. They can be songs for each grade level, songs for the entire group, or small group songs. Please think about this while you are home so we can get to work as soon as we return.
