Hippopotamus
In 2nd grade, we've been learning all about form. The song "Hippopotamus" is in ABA form. The GIANT scrunchie that we have helps us keep the beat as a a group. When we do different moves to the scrunchie, it helps us express form!

"The Syncopated Clock"
In second grade we are working more on becoming independent musicians. Second graders start learning about musical form in songs. The song "The Syncopated Clock" by Leroy Anderson has kicked off our year. Can you figure out the form of this song? Ask your child to show you the movements from class!
