Foamie Rhythms

The Kindergarteners have just begun learning about ta's and ti-ti's and they are catching on so fast! To practice creating rhythms, each student was given a packet of shapes with rhythms on them and a paper with 4-beat measures on it. I would clap a rhythm and they had to notate it on their papers. When we finished 3 measures, I let them compose their own rhythm for the last line. Composing in Kindergarten?! WOW!

Helping a student figure out the last pattern. Good teamwork, guys!
