You're a Grand Ol' Flag

We have been working on several patriotic songs in music lately. One of our favorite things to do while we sing our America songs is to march to the steady beat and wave our flags! Here are some images from a couple of Tuesday classes. These friends in Mrs. S. Jones' class and Miss Mangum's class are marching proudly while celebrating their freedom and their country!

Oh I Love America!

This week, we are singing songs to celebrate America in the music room! Some of our favorites include, "My Country Tis of Thee", "This Land is Your Land", "The Star Spangled Banner", "You're a Grand Old Flag", and "Oh I Love America". Mrs. Sanders' class from the Orange Pod sang "Oh I Love America" so beautifully today, we decided to share our sweet voices with everyone here on the music room blog! Notice what a nice job they are doing spelling A-M-E-R-I-C-A!

We hope you enjoy!

One of our Favorites!

One of our most favorite things to practice with our rhyhtm sticks in music class is the "Days of the Week" song. This version of "Days of the Week" is brought to you by Ms. Whitt's class from Blue Pod. You will notice this tune sounds a bit like the Adams Family theme song!

This favorite activity helps us to practice playing on the steady beat, resting in the appropriate places, and of course helps us learn all seven days of the week!
