3rd Grade

Hi 3rd Grade Families!

Your assignments for this extended time out of school will be to spend time learning on the Link Up! website.  If you complete the specific assignments below and want to check out what else is on the site, use the link above to explore the entire site.

Music Class Day 1:

First, listen to and practice singing

• "Come to Play" 
• "Simple Gifts"

Then, watch this short video about the 4 families of the orchestra.

Finally, explore the interactive game "The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" (requires Flash player - do this on a computer/Chromebook)  Be sure to click "Local Game," which does not require you to log in.

Music Class Day 2:

First, listen to and practice singing

• "Ode to Joy"  and
• "Oye" - with the dance moves!  Practice singing AND dancing! 😊

Then, read "The Firebird Story."

Finally, turn on this recording of the Firebird Finale, and while it plays, see if you can follow your way along the listening map next to the Firebird Story (above).  You'll want the story open in one tab and the music in another tab.

Bonus:  If you want to watch a real orchestra play this piece, watch THIS video!

Music Class Day 3:

First, listen to and practice singing 3 of the songs below (your choice!)

• "Come to Play" 
• "Simple Gifts"
• "Ode to Joy"  and
• "Oye" - with the dance moves!  Practice singing AND dancing! 😊

Next, take a look at this spread of all the orchestral instruments and see how many you can name without reading the name!

Finally, let's do some rhythm review!  Go to the Rhythm Randomizer and practice at least TEN PATTERNS by

• READING them (walk, run-run, rest)
• CLAPPING them (while still reading out loud) and
• PLAYING them on a household instrument (pot with a wooden spoon? 😊)
