3rd Grade School Theme 2

Second time at 3rd grade I was late.  Timing is not my thing.  The teacher was not happy.  I got a little flustered and didn't start with Willoughby like I had wanted and went straight into note review.

Quarter, Eight, Half, Whole Note Review
     Tapped out some rhythms with the rhythm sticks

At this point I was going to play a song for them but one of my kids had moved my CD and I didn't have it.  I had to go on to the next thing.

Put together measures.
   So I had them get into groups and told them to get scissors.  BIG MISTAKE.  The minute I said to get into groups the kids jumped up and went all over the classroom to find their friends.  They then didn't know where to sit so they just milled around in bunches all over the room.  As I got them sitting down I would give them a paper I had made with different types of notes on them.  It took a while to tell them through the chaos that I wanted them to make two measures of four counts.  Eventually they did it and then I had a few groups share their measures with the group and then we tapped them out with the rhythm sticks.

After that I was done!
