Скачать или смотреть Second Grade Music Class Autumn Songs Oct 2014

Second grade musicians at PS 51 were inspired by Lois Ehlert's The Leaf Man book to create an ABA form Autumn Piece with "The World is Crying Leaves" and "Autumn Comes." We compared the two songs and noticed that one has eighth notes grouped in twos and the other in threes. We made our bodies into the shapes of leaves (curvy, round, straight, jagged, broken) and discovered ways our bodies could move like leaves (twirl, swirl, fly, float, flutter, fall) and then created human trees and leaves while singing and playing off instruments. We even collected leaves and made our own Leaf Men! What a week!!
