For this week's lesson, we have a new Hello song "Hey, Hello, Bonjour", Movement with "Shoo Fly", the Echo Song "No more Pie", sing the Book "Had a little Rooster" and say goodbye with "This Little Light of Mine".

Hello Hosmer Musicians! This week, we are going to do a rhythm practice. Below are links to Google Slides with information to help you review rhythms that we have been working on this year. You will be able to practice the rhythms along with music looped on GarageBand. When you are done practicing, try creating your own rhythm composition.

Happy music making!

Say hello and share music activities you are doing at home!

Spring is here and hopefully you have been noticing some signs, whether it is flowers budding and blooming or animals and birds outside. Above are all the different kinds of daffodils I have seen in my neighborhood! Here are ideas for capturing and representing spring time:

Draw a Flower from Observation (Grades 1-5):

• Check out this slideshow of paintings by American artist Georgia O'Keeffe. She is known for her paintings of flowers, as well as other natural forms.
• Go outside with a paper and pencil (or marker, colored pencils, etc.) and draw a flower from observation, looking closely at the details. What do you see now that you are observing closely that you might not have noticed before?
• Think about what shapes you can use to represent the different parts, such as the petals and leaves.
• You can focus on just one part of the flower and draw it big, like O'Keeffe. If you have paint, you can try painting your flower drawing, or add color with other materials.
• Or take a photo of flowers on a (socially distanced) neighborhood walk and then draw the flower from the photo once you get home.
• You can also draw potted plants you have inside your home from observation.

Extension: Create a nature sketchbook, using paper, and record observations of spring through drawings and written notes.

Make a Collage of a Flower, Bird or Insect (PK - 2):

• Think about what shapes and colors you could use to create a flower, bird, insect or anything connected to spring!
• Using magazines, construction paper or painted paper, cut out shapes and glue them onto a background paper to create your collage.
• Create a collage inspired by the work of Eric Carle: paint paper, using different tools like forks and sponges to create textures, then cut out shapes from the painted paper after it has dried.

I would like to put together a slideshow of artwork students have been making at home!
