Sometimes I feel like "Do Re Mi" is my home-base. We cover it in 2nd and review it at the beginning of 4th and 5th and use it extensively when playing recorder in 3rd. I can't tell you how many games, powerpoints, and lessons I have that use these pitches. At the beginning of the year, my older students logged their Do Re Mi learning in their interactive notebooks. Here's an example page: My Do Re Mi Song At the beginning of the year I got quite a few new students. I gave them some extra practice: Do Re Mi Music Street And we learned lots of fun songs (and some we got to learn later on the recorder): Frog in the Meadow Hop Old Squirrel Rain is Falling Down Closet Key Sailor on the Sea I also created a 5-page assessment (including a composition section): I'll be posting some more in-depth Do Re Mi lessons from my Re Lesson Bundle soon - I've got quite a few new ideas for old favorites. What Do Re Mi songs do you like?
