![]() ![]() It is so much fun to have students teach their parents what to do and parents love it too! Sometimes I even like to pull parents in the audience to help play or accompany a song on orff instruments, etc. I like to make my programs more "informance" than "performance" so even though there is a theme tying everything together, parents are seeing how music class typically works. Many of these songs were already in my curriculum for 2nd which means less "teaching to the test" and more exploring with songs we would be learning anyways! I am big on making programs that showcase what we ALREADY do in music class rather than taking a lot of time out of the curriculum for the year to teach song that students will never sing again in music class just because they fit with a cute them. Instead of using only songs that mention the correct color names to match the page, I looked at what the crayons were talking about coloring and used a lot of songs to go with those objects. Such a cute book! Some people who have done this program this year did a lot of songs that mention the color names, but I decided to go a slightly different route. Some are over-worked, some are under-worked, and some just frustrated with other colors arguing. ![]() ![]() If you don't know the book, it consists of a bunch of letters from crayons to their friend Duncan explaining to him why they have had enough and need a break. ![]()
