Students in first grade have been learning all about rhythm reading using ta (quarter note) and ti-ti (2 eighth notes). We've been practicing creating rhythms using popsicle sticks, writing rhythms on white boards, and other great activities. Today, they were assessed on their ability to write the correct note above words for the speech piece "Double This, Double That." Afterwards, students were allowed to turn their paper over and create a rhythm pattern of their own. I even had one student add words to his piece to create a new rhythmic speech piece. It's so wonderful to see the application of learning in action! Enjoy this cute piece.
