A fly and a flea got caught in a flue. They said to each other, "What shall we do?" Said the fly, "Let's flee!" Said the flea, "Let's fly!". So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
This is the song the 3rd graders have been working on for the past couple of weeks. When we first learned the song, we added body percussion to each of the words in red and practiced performing it at different tempos. Next, we added unpitched percussion instruments to those words and experimented with different ways to perform the song. Finally, we added Orff parts with the xylophones and metallophones. On the last day, we split into 4 groups and performed the song with all 4 parts! Phew! Below are pictures of our full presentation.
