Note We Are Working On; graphic organizer

10/22/2012

14 Comments

 
This year I really want my students to really know all about the notes we work with.  I want them to  be able to give the real name, syllable sound, tell me how many beats, and to notate it.   I decided instead of just discussing it in class that I needed some kind of hands on activity.   I decided to create a graphic organizer.  Here it is what it looks like:

Here is what one looks like with it's completed:

I plan on making 30 copies and then put them into a plastic sleeve.  Students will use a dry erase marker to fill it in.  I will be doing this with 1st-5th grade. 
I always start my lessons in a crew circle.  I will have them fill them out in our crew circle.  Throughout the lesson I will have them look for the note in the music we are working with. When they see the note I will have them hold a thumb up and shake it.    I will also have them count how many they see, go up to the board to circle or color the note, read the measure that has the note in it, etc.
I also plan on creating a Note Wall to show the notes we know. 

You can go to my download page on my website to get a copy of the graphic organizer.

This is such a great tool! I love how the pages break rhythms down into every component. Even with 7th and 8th graders, that would be a good resource to have. I enjoyed reading!

Hello, I was wondering if maybe you could upload a new sheet but this time the time signature as 6/8? My county has 3rd grade starting 6/8 already and I would love to use this with all of my grade levels!

This is great! My students all have work portfolios (file folders in which they store their written work.) I am absolutely going to start using this sheet with my K and 1 kids. The sheets and folders can move up through the grades with them!

Love your site. I am a piano teacher and would love to use your "Note We're Working On" for a couple of my students. Can you send me or post your finished pages so I can see what you used. Thank you.

Hi Tami, Could you send me a "Note We're Working on" example for the following notes? Quarter, Single Eighth, Paired Eighths, Dotted Quarter Note, Half Note, Dotted Half Note, Four Sixteenth Notes. I would love to have a suggested word to use for each of the kinds of notes like your example for four 16th notes is "watermelon." Thanks so much, Don
