9. Return to normal seats at 11:35/36 and line up based on which row is


sitting the quietest.
10. Play Simon Says until teacher gets there/or dismiss them down the
ramp.

Assessment Activity:

say it like in conversation) and write their candy rhythm using correct
notation (next class).
Apple Tree Song: Students will sing in their head voice, and be able to
sing the sol-mi-la-sol-do pattern in the song, while marching (or using
other body percussion) to a steady beat.

Accommodations:
- Switch to different body percussion if the pat/clap is too easy. Scale
it back if it becomes too hard.
- Simplify the Apple Tree game if this version is too complicated.

Follow Up:
Finish Eleanor activity next class.
Apple Tree will be used as a musical activity throughout the school
year.
