Today we had fun singing about El Gallo (the old rooster…he’s dead and won’t be saying cock-a-doodle anymore). It’s interesting to hear how children speaking other languages interpret the sounds that animals make! To learn the words to this song, I recommend you look up the lyrics in your parent manual.
The class detectives discovered a sol-la-ti-do in the song Bill Grogan’s Goat and learned to match the term MAJOR to songs that sound happy and MINOR to those that are sad, tired, or mysterious. They learned that to make a chord MINOR from MAJOR, that you change the middle note. We played this both on the bells, and on the piano. They are little sponges, and totally understood!!
While singing the Jungle Rhythms, continue to encourage your child to use his voice along with his hand actions. (chant "BOOM BOOM" for the elephant while stomping. chant "PUM PUM" for the lion - etc) This adds another dimension and will help him to stay on his rhythm. Next week we will be doing musical math!!
Happy Valentines Day my adorable Blue Bugs!!
