2nd Grade
​April 27th-may 1st

4/27-5/1 Music activities

1.) SING:
Signs of Spring is the perfect song to sing in the spring because things are changing all around us each day! The weather is warming up, the days are lighter for longer, the flowers are blooming and it makes me want to find my baseball glove and get outside to play! This week you'll be singing with Ms. Sheridan!!!

2. ) Japan:
You are beginning to study Japan in Social Studies. April in Japan is a very special time and is celebrated with a festival called Hanami. Hanami, 花見, or in English "flower viewing", is a long-standing Japanese tradition of welcoming spring. Also known as the “cherry blossom festival,” this annual celebration is about appreciating the ever changing beauty in nature. People gather under blooming cherry blossoms for food, music, and friendship as they celebrate the passing beauty. Watch this performance of the song Sakura by Kasumi Watanabe. She is performing on a traditional Japanese instrument called the Koto. The koto is a cousin to the Guzheng from China which we learned about in music class when we were singing and celebrating Lunar New Year. They are both string instruments in the Zither family.

2.) CREATE:
Do you like secret codes? I do! Use this worksheet of rhythm patterns to play your name or send a message to someone! Spell your name on a piece of paper. Find the rhythm on the chart for each letter of your name and write them down in order. Then, try to say and play the rhythm sentence that spells your name. You can spell all the names in your family too!
Record yourself or send me your rhythm sentence so I can see your work: jina_han@psbma.org

Here's an example of my first name!

3.) MOVE: This song activity gives you a chance to work on your coordination and musical timing while having fun! The “Deteggtive” will lead you through the song showing you which beat is happening in the music. The picture here tells you what each egg means. 
  • When you see a blue egg, HOP! 
  • When you see a yellow egg, CLAP! 
  • When you see a red egg STOMP! ​
Follow along and try one color at a time. See if you can keep up and make every movement happen with the beat of the music. Then try to do two colors, and finally, try all three!
