First grade students continued exploring classroom instru-

ments. After ukuleles, they took a closer look into xylo-

phones, paying special attention to positioning of different

sounds, as well as to creating soft and loud sounds. In order

to get a better sense of rhythm, students also used percus-

sion instruments. Following a steady beat helped them im-

prove their singing as well. They sang “Day-O” and “LOL”, fo-

cusing on call and response.

Next month we will start brainstorming and creating variety of

solutions for "Banana Boat” choreography - call and respons-

es, boys and girls, musicians and dancers, singers and play-

ers… Having been initially inspired with original version by

Carmen Miranda, we are going to create our own, authentic

one. We are very eager to see what our creative project will

end up with!
