Listening & Rhythm Reading in 3rd Grade

The 3rd graders have been learning how to read rhythms in music for the past few weeks. To make learning even more fun, we added a rhythmic poem and game to the mix. We said the poem Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater along with patting a steady beat and students came up to the front of the class to hold up rhythm cards that the class then clapped outloud together.
They next looked at a listening map for the piece of music, In the Hall of the Mountain King by the composer Edvard Grieg. We talked about the scary sounding music, and about the life of the composer Mr. Grieg.

Happy Halloween, everyone! :)
