Christmas Rhythms

The Kindergarteners have been working on their long (soon to be 'ta') and short-short ('ti-ti') rhythms. In groups of two, they composed patterns using trees/hats (longs) and presents/mittens (short-shorts) and then notated the rhythms below. Then they clapped the rhythm. This was their first time actually writing the long and short-short patterns instead of just reading it off of the board.
