Here are two different recordings of the Pumpkins and Astronauts singing "No More Pie." I let them know that they were going to make a recording to put up on the GBS website and that only family and staff would have access to it. On our first attempt, I made a mistake (singing the wrong lyrics) and discussed how we could simply delete it and try again. This reinforced the idea that mistakes are okay, and a part of learning. We then made another recording, listened to it, and then voted as to whether we were all happy with the results.
Here is an example of a "call and response" song where the leader sings a line and the group repeats, singing it back to the leader. Mostly done with the older 4 or 5 groups, I sing this to them twice during the class, letting them know that the third time, they will become the teacher and I will become the student. It is interesting to see how certain individuals in the group step up and sing lyrics that they can recall, and then others fill in the blanks if/when the first ones are unable to remember the words. It becomes a group effort that gives them a chance to succeed on their own. Ask your child to sing it to you this weekend and I'll post a sound clip of one of our groups singing it next week. No More Pie
Oh My! Oh My! No more pie. No more pie. Pie's too sweet. Pie's too sweet. I want a piece of meat. I want a piece of meat. Meat's too red. Meat's too red. I want a piece of bread. I want a piece of bread. Bread's too brown. Bread's too brown. I think I'll go to town. I think I'll go to town. Town's too far. Town's too far. I think I'll take a car. I think I'll take a car. Car won't go. Car won't go. I fell and stubbed my toe. I fell and stubbed my toe. Toe gives me pain. Toe gives me pain. I think I'll take a train. I think I'll take a train. Train had a wreck. Train had a wreck. Ouch! I hurt my neck. Ouch! I hurt my neck. Oh My! Oh My! No more pie. No more pie. |
