It's been raining a lot lately, so here is a fun video on Flipgrid of "Thunder and Raindrops", which we have done in class with our rhythm sticks. Maybe if we make some noise, the sun will come out to stay! Not everyone may have rhythm sticks at home, but you can use anything to tap along with: chopsticks, empty water bottles, get creative, and tap along. Watch the YouTube video, and then press the Big Green Button to record your video! I love seeing your smiling faces!

Note Value Fun!
"Bim Bum" is a fun singing and clapping music game that has been around for a while! It uses most of the note values that we have been working within class. It starts out slowly and then gets faster. If you need to, rewind the video and go back over the slow parts. Don't worry, it took Mrs. Murray awhile to get up to speed since I hadn't sung it in a while! Take your time and have fun with it. Post a video of yourself singing and clapping to "Bim Bum" by pressing the green plus button. It's ok to post just the beginning or just the slow part if that's what you are most comfortable with. I can't wait to see your videos!
