First Graders Need Help
We’ve been given a new Boomwhacker Mystery this week but we can’t figure out what song it is. Can you listen to our link and leave us a comment if you know what the song is please?
3rd grade Test Day!
If you’d like to listen to the song a few more times go here.
If you’re ready to test then you may play Scribble States but be careful you might get addicted!

In Kindergarten we’ve been working on playing Hot Cross Buns on the xylophones. The students have been playing the B A G pattern while we sing.
In the Hall of the Mountain King
Here’s a neat cartoon of the song that I found.
Some of you have been telling me that there are car commercials and other videos on YouTube that use this music. I’m so excited to hear that you are noticing this! If you find them on the internet put the link in the comments so the rest of us can see them. Thanks!
Of course here’s our videoes of the song! We have been listening to the orchestral version of this song for a few music classes now. Last week we heard a new version played by Leslie West on the electric guitar. We discovered that some of the song had the same patterns as the orchestra version!
And here’s a Techno In the Hall version!

First grade, while we are recording stories today you will need choose one of the sites below to play. You will not be able to come as me questions because I will be busy making recordings. If you need something ask a friend for help.
