Concepts Used This Week

This past week we presented our rhymes to the rest of class. We also learned terms to what we were doing. We identified what steady beat and rhythm was. Learning these terms help us so that when we teach a class we know what we're talking about and can give a title to what the students are learning.

These skills and concepts affected me because in life everyone moves, walks, and even talks to a beat or rhythm. Identifying what it is, is the fun part. Because now that you know, you can switch, change, or play with your own beat. It is also something that makes you different from everyone else. No one else can have your rhythm.

Its important that we know these things so that if a student in our class is struggling with following a particular beat we can know how to address the issue. This also helps students because once they leave your classroom, they can follow steady beat and in the end, they're grateful because you've given them a life long lesson that they can always use.

10 songs that i remember as a child are:

Little Sally Walker
Miss Mary Mac
London Bridge is Falling Down
Head Shoulders Knees and Toes
If All the Rain Drop
Please and Thank You
Hello Everybody
