Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

There are so many great ways to celebrate Valentine's Day in music class. Here are a few of the things we did this year.

The 5th graders learned a Valentine Line Dance, the "Cupid Shuffle", and created Secret Valentines using the notes on the staff. 
"Kiss Me" and "Text Me" using a treble clefs for 's' and the line note 'E'.


The 1st graders made Sweet Rhythms with candy hearts. 1 heart represented a 'ta' and 2 hearts represented a 'ti-ti'. I would clap a rhythm and they notated it on their lap packs. Afterwards they created their own patterns and shared them with a partner.
Ti-ti, ta, ta, ti-ti
Ti-ti, ta, ta, ti-ti
