You can male two “Bird Beaks” and hold them in each hand while you sing Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds. You are one of the birds and the two puppets make three.
Watch this video and see if you can follow the steps and make your own Bird Beak. Origami can sometimes be challenging, so please ask an adult for help if you run into problems.
After you make your two birds, record a video of you sing Three Little Birds in Seesaw.
Here’s the link to the song:
Try playing these rhythms by clapping your hands or with anything that makes a sound by tapping, shaking, etc.
Teach a friend the rhythm you learned to play and then learn to play a different rhythm that you can play with your friend. Record the two different rhythms together in Seesaw.
You may do this and/or sing with Dideo with the video that’s in your Seesaw lesson.

Oh, my friend, if you leave me here alone,
May your feet begin to hurt
Before you’ve even walked
The first mile.

Me gustan a mi.

James Weldon Johnson, J. Rosamond Johnson
Lift ev’ry voice and sing
‘Til earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list’ning skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on ’til victory is won

Let’s explore creating our own melodies, using an Indian raga, called Yaman. Many of the students at Forest Park seem to have access to piano keyboards at home. Use this diagram to help you find the notes “F” and “C.” Play them over and over again with your left hand while you play Yaman by playing only the white piano keys with your right hand. Remember that F and C are you most restful notes while E and B express the most tension because they want to go to F and C.
If you don’t have a keyboard, use the sound file below as your drone and improvise melodies to it using the keyboard at this link: https://www.imusic-school.com/en/tools/online-piano-keyboard/
Click below for your drone:
Also, grades 3 through 5 can do this in Soundtrap by clicking here: https://www.soundtrap.com/studio/assignment/2EH5wofDR2eZrJ__VunDdA/
Hear Dr. Bob play Yaman on the clarinet here!
Let’s try an experiment! I tried invite all 3rd, 4th and 5th graders to my project, entitled, “This Land Is Your Land,” but I was limited to inviting only 40 students. If you received an invitation from me on Soundtrap, please accept it and try using to following lyrics to add a track of you singing along. I could save several recording of the same song with 40 different students again and again and then mix them all together in a different program. If you haven’t been invited yet, try using this link: https://www.soundtrap.com/studio/assignment/zgFVWR9KRJ28Qv9kmflJpw/Let’s give it a try and see what happens.
All of the K-2 grades can record themselves singing this song in Seesaw using the following accomaniment:
Here are the lyrics:
This Land is Your Land
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From the California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From the California, to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled, and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
(Instrumental Break)
When the sun come shining, then I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, and this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me.
Muskogee (Creek) Duck Dance
Creek dances took place on open ground in a central square. This open are contained branch-covered structures for shaded seating, as well as lodges used by different ranks and clans within the tribe. Dancers circled counterclockwise in a simple dance step around a central fire. The leader alone played a rattle, and one or two drummers accompanied from a side position.
A dance always began with the leader circling the fire, playing his rattle. As soon as others joined, official dancing began, with men directly behind the leader, followed by women, the children who were learning the steps. The Duck Dance was performed tp repay the duck, called fetch (FOOT-coh), for helping the tribe. The Creeks also wished to keep the duck friendly to man.
Note: Final duck sound, “Kah, Kah, Kah,” the Creek equivalent of “Quack, Quack, Quack,” is open freely, moving from high to low pitches, and is repeated several times.
