Peter and the Wolf Review

Note Names Lesson

Click on the link below to read about how notes are written on a staff. Recorder players read from the treble clef. So, focus on the treble clef section only. The Classics for Kids website uses the phrase "Every Good Boy Does Fine" to help remember the notes on the lines and "FACE" to remember the notes in the spaces. What fun phrase did we learn in class to help us remember the notes on the lines? Email or DOJO me your answer, if you remember! (Third graders, we may not have gotten to this yet. We will learn next year-no worries!) Once you are done reading, play the note name game and see how many words you can spell by figuring out the notes. Have fun, musicians!

Movement

Next, click on the story link to listen to the author, Tomie DePaola, read Strega Nona. Say the chant with the author and do the movements.

Story

After you have listened to the story, click on the link below and sing The Pasta Song along with the recording.

(Unfortunately, the author leaves no space to incorporate it in during the youtube video, as we do when I read it in class).
