Halloween Forest Fun!

Halloween is a great time of year! I enjoy dressing up and singing Halloween songs and doing silly singing games and actions in music. This year, I decorated the music room to make it a little spooky but fun! The students learned different orchestral pieces of music through "scary" stories and games. They didn't even know they were learning! We also played the Orff instruments to silly poems about pumpkin eaters. The Grade 4 and 5 students even had a speed competition on the xylophones with proper mallet technique and posture! It was amazing!

I hope the students enjoyed learning music in the Halloween Forest as much as I did!
