Class Experience

This one time highly participatory and engaging class will use music, fun language, problem solving, creative props and unique musical instruments to explore the  Pumpkin Life Cycle.  We will learn echoing and call and response strategies to help us internalize vocabulary and concepts.  Hand motions, movement  and creative dramatizations will  bring the sequence of events to life.  We will brainstorm descriptive words to increase our understanding and encourage discussion and collaboration. ...

Through active participation and repetition: learners will become familiar with the 5 stages of the Pumpkin Life Cycle, sing the Pumpkin Life Cycle Song and learn hand motions that  demonstrate the Pumpkin Life Cycle.  We will explore descriptive language to further communicate their understanding. Students will become familiar with the ukulele, harmonica, bucket bass and Limberjack.

No homework or preparation is needed. We will be really busy having fun , participating and learning during our time together.

Students may bring a notebook or paper / pencil to write down things, draw pictures or take notes if they like.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

During the session, simple thumbs up from learners and answering questions during discussions will help me gauge each learners understanding. After the session parents can follow up with a few questions to encourage conversation about the learning experience. a) Can you sing a little bit of the "Pumpkin Life Cycle Song?". Prompt ... " Seed makes a ...." b) Can you show me the  hand motions that demonstrate the Pumpkin Life Cycle? Prompt ... " The silent version ?" c) What were some of the musical instruments Mr. Beach used during the session?

30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

No outside sources needed.
