Stomp!


This weeks lesson plan was to find an everyday ordinary object and turn it into a percussive instrument and create our own version of Stomp. We finished the video "Stomp Outloud" and it really inspired the children (And me! I still want to be part of that group when I grow up!) It's amazing how something as simple as a broom can be transformed into an impressive instrument! We sang "There's only one of you" by Animaniacs and rehearsed the Hello Song one more time. I quizzed them on a few terms. I said "What do they say in Greece?" and sure enough they knew how to say hello in most languages! Next week we begin script rehearsal for The Nutcracker. I arranged Christmas carol lyrics to the music of the Nutcracker Suite!
