Kindergarten AC East Mini-program 2013

Kindergarten at one of my schools!  I invited parents to come to our regular music class time.  Many did and we got to share our fun songs and smiles.

6th Graders notes at the end of the year!

Give it a try!  

I regularly video tape my students for our own evaluation, motivation and sharing with families.  I maintain a Facebook page just for this purpose.  Here is a link to my current videos.  Some os these videos get posted on YouTube and some don't.

What a delightfully surprising video!

Boston Bruins.Buffalo Sabres National Anthem at TD Garden - First Home G...

The best Star-Spangled Banner ever! This is how it should be sung! By the people!

As a follow up to Goober Peas,

we are singing/speaking this

fabulous piece in 5th grade

for this is the year they learn

of the "War Between The States"

or the more commonly called

"Civil War."

One of the wonderful things I learned from Quantum Learning was "chunking."  Our brain learns better in sections, segments, chunks.

Today, my kinders sang an awesome song from Music K8 called Humhumnuknukuapua'a!

What a HUGE word for little ones!   But they wrote their own four section segmented paper and can say the name of this cool fish from Hawaii!

We sing Goober Peas in 5th grade. They study the Civil War. I show several videos. This is a favorite. In discussion I told them Burl Ives was the voice of the Snowman on the Rudolph Red-Nosed Reindeer show. I asked if they knew Johnny Cash. One boy said, "Bob should know. He did a paper on him." Bob said, "I did a paper on Johnny Carson, not Johnny Cash." The first boy said, "Same thing."

Um...not really. :/

Jump Bands 2013
