1st and 2nd grade students have been working hard on rhythm. After reading "Freddie the Frog and the Mysterious Wahoo" by Sharon Burch (if you have not discovered these books, you should) we began composing our own rhythms using construction paper and popsicle sticks. After composing our rhythms, we performed our rhtyhms on rhythm sticks. Using the construction paper as a measure, we then put four pieces of paper together to make a phrase and performed a four measure phrase! What an awesome way to help discover the differences in beat and rhythm.
