Major Project- Music Lesson (Week 4)

Good Afternoon, Parents and Guardians! We are now in the fourth week of our Fall Unit!  After a lot of reflection about last year's fall unit music lesson, I decided to use the same lesson except incorporate technology within it. This week, Ms. Dispenza's 1st grade class dove into this fun and exciting lesson. I started out our music lesson with playing different Disney cover songs through the sock puppets app. I actually used my singing skills to create all of the videos. My favorite sock puppet video was when I sang "I see the light" from Tangled. I turned these videos into a hands on and interactive guessing game. As I played these different cover songs the students had to look around the room for the Disney movie picture that matched the song I was playing. To end the lesson, I allowed the students to use our class iPads to make their own video on the sock puppets app. Every child had the option to work in pairs or alone on this project. We have been working with this sock puppets app for most of the school year so I had full confidence that every child would be able to complete the project. Of course, I would answer any questions that my students might of have! I also started using this fun turkey hockey pokey video to help transition from each aspect of the lessons that we completed throughout the week!

Again I have another thinglink for our music lesson. Please let me know if you have any questions!
