Eggcellent Melodies
1st graders are spending a lot of time working on so-mi-la right now and the 2nd graders have been studying la-so-mi-do patterns. The week of Easter, I labeled a bunch of plastic eggs with letters to represent these pitches. The students worked in groups of two to create melodies using their eggs. Once they had created a melody, they played it on the glockenspiels. After a few times, I had them combine with another group to make longer melodies.
