This group is also working on their concert music. Here are the links to their two songs
Somewhere Out There: FADE OUT at 2.10
Somewhere Out There: FADE OUT at 2.10
After they have sung through those have them watch this Sesame Street clip about Ballet.
After that you can show the students these two clips from the Nutcracker, one more traditional and one less so. Have them compare and contrast the two with a neighbor or small group. Share out with the class what they discussed.
We started a song last week that goes
Oh my goodness look at all those toys, it’s the time of year for girls and boys
They probably won’t remember the tune as we’ve only done it once, but you can say it as a short poem. Have the students take a moment and think about a toy or gift they would like. It could be for Christmas, a birthday, or just a special surprise! They should think of just ONE word rather than saying a full sentence. Say/sing the poem, then let 4 or 5 people share their toys, sing again, repeat until everyone has had a turn to share.
If there is extra time after this students may play Ghosts in the Graveyard.
