Whacky Do Re Mi - Second Grade

Second grade began "Whacky Do Re Mi" back in January as a song of the month.  It is now their warm up song.  In class we have a student perform the solo, and everyone plays a boomwhacker on one of the solfege notes (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, or ti).  Here is the video that accompanies the song:

Rockin' Robin - Third Grade

Our song of the month right now for third grade is "Rockin' Robin."  This famous song was first made famous in 1958.  However, Michael Jackson also made a version of this song.  His version came out in 1972 and made it to #2 on the US charts.

Here is a video of 14 year old Michael Jackson performing "Rockin' Robin" with his brothers in the
band Jackson 5.
