On October 25, Mrs. Bannister's class will be performing 2 songs. They will be presenting "Down, Down, Yellow and Brown", using ORFF instruments and movement. This song has been an excellent tool for discussing high/low, and for learning the very tricky skill of singing and playing at the same time. We have used leaf manipulatives with labelled with solfege, and I have placed this in a descending pattern, so students are able to see the movement of notes in the song.
The other song the class is performing is a cute little Halloween song called "Three Black Bats" (sung to the tune of Three Blind Mice)
Three black bats, three black bats
See how they fly, see how they fly
They all came out in the dark moonlight,
Did you ever see such a Halloween sight,
As three black bats!
I am going to be recording students this week and *hopefully* will remember to take some pictures, too!
Happy Halloween everyone!
~Mrs. Caya
