First Graders play a song with out a conductor!!

We are growing so much in 1st grade! We began the year playing our BoomWhacker Mysteries with Mrs. Muench conducting or pointing to the icons as they went by. Then we grew a little and had a student point instead of Mrs. Muench. We called that “driving the bus”. But today something truly amazing happened in 1B. They played a BoomWhacker Mystery with out anyone pointing at the icons on the SMARTboard. This means that each student had to follow the icons on their own. Way cool!! Watch the video to see us figuring it out.

1st Grade Valentine’s Day Songs

Each class of 1st grade composed their own song for Valentine’s day on the BoomWhackers. The class was given the empty plan and added colors (BoomWhacker pitches) and rhythms to match the words to the poem. Then we practiced playing our songs.

I’m so honored!!

Today I got invited to an assembly at my Elementary School.  3A asked me specifically to be there.  I was wondering why it was important for me to be there.  Perhaps I was going to have to sing a song or something.  That made me a little worried because I always like to have a lot of practice before I sing in front of people. 

But it turned out that the kids had written a song for me!  The song was great and their classroom teacher even talked a little bit about all the interesting things the kids reported doing in music class.  They even made me a poster with the words to the song on it!  What a wonderful day! 

Well since the song mentioned podcasting I figured it was appropriate to invite the kids down to the music classroom/computer lab to make recording for the internet……So, drumroll please…….

Here it is:
