    Grade Two Unit Plan

    Giving Thanks and Getting Spooky October 2016 8 Classes

    Generative Topic: Now that the basic building blocks have been reviewed it is
    time to start reviewing some of the finer points of music performance and
    literacy. In addition to ta/ti-ti which was learned in grade one, we will be adding
    ta-a to our repertoire. We will explore these concepts through songs that
    celebrate the two major themes of the month: giving thanks and getting
    spooky. We will explore in-depth songs consisting of so and mi and will talk
    about these notes on the finger staff. There will also be thorough discovery of
    note lengths, along with the reading and writing of these note lengths.
    Unit Title: Giving Thanks and Getting Spooky
