Music 1/6/15 - Explorers

What's the difference between the beat and the rhythm? That's what we discovered in class, with the very familiar Nursery Rhyme- Hickory, Dickory, Dock. Each student was so focused as they tried to keep the beat while the rhythm was going, and then tried to keep the rhythm while the beat was going. After playing with the beats, the kids built and decorated a tall clock, and made lots of mice scurrying up and down. This week at home the kids need to create their own instrument to add to the nursery rhyme, so we will have a musical clock.
