Here are activities for the week of April 27-May 1st.
K-2 Read a book and have instrument accompany it. Here is an example of how you might do so. I chose Chicka Chicka Boom Boom hoping that many of you would already have the book. However, you can apply the same technique to make any book fun! I recommend looking for recurring text (ex: “Chicka chicka boom-boom”) and perform first using body percussion (snapping, patting, clapping, etc.) then have your child pick an instrument(s). These instruments can be traditional instruments or found sounds around the house, for which I’ve given examples in this video. You may have instruments you made a few weeks ago near the beginning of remote learning :-). Check back for more books in the near future!
