Ms Laney/ Ms Gorman's First Grade Class

Hello First Grade Class!     Let's have music online today!      First off, will you feed the fish for me?


 Now let's sing The Hello Song.

Who's ready for The Freeze Dance?


Time to play some Boomwhackers.

Let's start with a Counting Song.  Click Here!       Can you Count by Two's? Click Here!

Let's try counting some Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. Click Here!     

What do monkey's eat? Bananas of course! Let's try this Banana Song. Click Here!

Time to put the boomwhackers away and come back to the carpet for a musical story.

One of my favorite monkeys is Curious George. Let's see what happens to him when he tries to play Betsy's Xylophone.

As I Went Up The Apple Tree

Let's learn a children's rhyme from Ireland!


As I went up the apple tree-
All the apples fell on me.
Apple pudding, apple pie,
Did you ever tell a lie?

Yes you did. You know you did.
You broke your mother's teapot lid!
