We spend a lot of time exploring the songs, music and dances of other countries in second grade. It's a nice tie in to the work students do in their emigration unit in the classroom.  These last couple of weeks we've been enjoying exploring Australia. We've enjoyed the many wonderful sounds of our classroom didgeridoo, created and moved to all kinds of rhythm patterns created using the names of animals of Australia ("croc-o-dile, wom-bat, cass-o-war-y, kangaroo...") and of course have been singing some Australian songs.

Kookaburra is a wonderful Australian song for singing in a round or "in canon." To sing in canon means that everyone is singing the same song but starts singing at different times.  Ms. Murphy's class embraced this concept in class this week.  Listen to them sing Kookaburra in two-part canon!

    I'm a toe-tappin, guitar-pickin', hummin' 'n drummin' spouse, and mom to three kids.  I love  being in nature, kayaking,  travelling with my family, tending to my beehives and chickens and walking and training my crazy dog. Engaging with the world musically is very important to me. It's where I get my joy!
