Literacy Night at Maples

Mrs. Meyers and I had so much fun hosting a classroom for Literacy Night at Maples School last night.  Our theme was Super Ostinato (with an A B music form).  Students were divided into teams: 2 rhythm teams and 2 movement teams.  Each team had material to help them create their ostinato pattern.  The rhythm team had Super Hero rhythm cards they used to arranged and create their Ostinato which they performed on a non-pitched percussion instrument.  The movement teams had a set of vocabulary cards which gave them 4 different types of movement to perform in a pattern.  After about 10 minutes of practice we went around the teams and performed the Ostinato patterns; Rhythm, Movement, Rhythm, Movement.  We had a great time together.

Mrs. Meyers and Mrs. Reed are modeling the activity to the new group of students.
