This Is Why We Dot!

The 3rd graders have just finished learning a new rhythm: tika-tika or four 16th notes. To practice tika-tika rhythms, we made our own "This Is Why We Dot" compositions. Students used various round stickers to represent different note values. They then created an eight-beat composition complete with a creative title.
1 dot=quarter note 2 dots=a pair of eighth notes 4 dots= four 16th notes 0 dots=quarter rest
