Today was a bit random, as is almost all day with kids. :) We had a harmonica share which lead to questions about instruments (old ones they said) and so that lead to some folk music which lead to Mumford and Sons. :) Yes, I know. But I swear it naturally led there! I am a bit bias, b/c I love them so I did guide that thinking a little!
Mumford and Sons led to collaborating (they have a new AMAZING song) and a thinking flexibly conversation. The class was jamming and LOVED IT! They were really into the 5th grade musical (which was The Jungle Book-an African theme) So they loved this collaboration of Mumford! They suggested we listen to them while they worked ha ha! So sorry, I'm creating little Folk/Alt Rock fans out of your children! :) THEN this led to TONS of kids making instruments for their own band! Yesterday they were ALL about the blueprints, models and engineering and today it's music and a band! Today we created: -instruments (with 2 band performances) -tooth necklaces -houses -attempted at making a rubics cube -space ships -played with puppets -an airplance -art work -Earring Shop
