Gr. 5 Boomwhacker and Xylophone Projects

 

Grade 5 2010-2011

 

We had a great time  learning to play the boomwhackers and xylophones  in Music Class.  For each project the students worked in groups and were required to:

1.  Use the instruments to figure out the notes to Mary Had a Little Lamb and Twinkle Little Star.

2. Write the note names on the staff

3.  Practice playing the songs as a group

4.  Perform for the class without mistakes

Great work 5th graders!

“REACH” Grade 5 Ceremony song

“REACH” Grade 5 Ceremony song

Solo:   Some dreams live on in time forever

Those dreams you want with all your heart

And I’ll do whatever it takes

Follow through with the promise I made

Bridge:

Put it all on the line

What I hope for at last would be mine

Refrain: (all)

If I could reach higher

Just for one moment touch the sky

From that moment in my life

I’m gonna be stronger

Know that I’ve tried my very best

I’d put my spirit to the test

If I could reach

Solo 2:  Some days are meant to be remembered

Those days we rise above the stars

So I’ll go the distance this time

Seeing more the higher I climb

Bridge:

That the more I believe

All the more that this dream will be mine

Refrain: (all)

If I could reach higher

Just for one moment touch the sky

From that moment in my life

I’m gonna be stronger

Know that I’ve tried my very best

I’d put my spirit to the test

If I could reach

A Pretty Little Fish

01 A Pretty Little Fish


A pretty Little Fish went swimming by

Out in the middle of the sea

When he (they) thought he’d (they’d) ask a friend to play

“Won’t you come and swim with me?”

Through the water they would glide

they’d go swimming side by side

out in the middle of the sea sea sea

Through the water they would glide

They’d go swimming side by side

Out in the middle of the sea sea sea

Out in the middle of the sea

Put away the toys and trucks! Put away the dolls!

Now is the time to clean up!

Put away the blocks and things! Put away the games!

Now is the time to clean up!

When we’ve put our toys away! To the circle we will come!

Ready to listen and to learn!

When we hear this music play! It tells us to put away!

Now is the time to clean up!

In Pretty Blue Hawaii

04 In Pretty Blue Hawaii

Oh, the palm trees are swaying.

And the waves roll out to sea.

The birdies fly ‘cross the bright blue sky.

That’s where I long to be.

Oh the mountain peaks are rising

To the sun that shines so bright!

The rainbow adds it’s colors to

This pretty Hawaiian sight!

Now won’t you dance the hula?

Just like Hawaiians do?

Come join with me and you can be

In pretty blue Hawaii!
