Tikki Tikki Tembo

This week, 3rd graders got to learn about sixteenth notes, which we call "takadimi". We talked about how different names have different rhythms. Each student got to say his/her own name in 2 beats, and we found out that not every name has the same rhythm. Then we talked about the name "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt", which takes four beats. His name also includes a takadimi. Do you know where it is? Finally, we got to read about (and add instruments to) a very interesting, 16-beat name: Tikki tikki tembo no sa rembo chari bari ruchi pip peri pembo. WOW! Do you know how to find the rhythm of his name? How many takadimis are hidden in his name? I look forward to teaching this lesson every year. Learn more about Tikki Tikki Tembo, a Chinese folktale retold by Arlene Mosel and illustrated by Blair Lent

Today was our first Chorus rehearsal of the year! As of right now, there are 95 students who have joined the Chorus. I am so excited about the potential of this group. With 95 students, we should be able to make some beautiful music! Thank you to all the 4th and 5th graders who are joining us this year. I hope you are as excited as I am! Remember, rehearsals are Wednesdays from 2:45-3:45 p.m., and our Winter concert is on December 12, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. in the Findley Oaks Cafeteria.
