Kindergarten Plays "Five Little Pumpkins!"

The Kindergarten classes have been learning a fun song for Halloween called, Five Little Pumpkins. We learned the song first by listening to the short book. After getting the words down, we sat in five lines with 5 real pumpkins in the front of each line. As each part of the song came up, each student sitting in front of their pumpkin would sing their part as a short solo, this was a lot of fun! :) Finally, we put the song on the Orff instruments for the first time. Students learned how to play glissandi on their instruments when they sang the different numbers in the song. The kindergartners were very excited about this, because it was their first experience playing the beautiful instruments in music! 

Here is a short video of Mrs. Shoemake's classes singing and playing their Orff instruments for Five Little Pumpkins. :)
Happy Halloween too!
