VIDEOS FOR WEEK!
Use this link makingmusicfun.net/htm/mmf-music-library-meet-the-orchestra-index.php to complete the scavenger hunt. Look for the family of the day, click on each instrument, and read about it to fill in each blank! Happy hunting!
Please read about Carnival Of the Animals and complete the activities in the packet. Below is a video of music of Carnival Of The Animals with some funny Daffy and Bugs Bunny commentary. Please watch both videos so you can hear the music and hopefully laugh too! (One of you can airplay it for the class or you can all grab headphones and watch it individually!)
