MUSIC

Create a Sound Story!

Choose a story that has strong characters, either from a story

you’re reading, or from your own work from class

Create sounds using

instruments (imagined classroom instruments, or instruments you have at home) and some of the elements of music to represent each of the characters in your

story.

Examples: Dynamics (is your character loud

or soft?); pitch (high or low-pitched voice?); tempo (fast

or slow character?); rhythm (decide if you would play whole

notes, half notes, quarter notes, or eighth notes?); timbre

(describes the character of a sound.) Examples of timbre

would be: bright like chimes, shrill like a flute, buzzy like a

saxophone, …)

If it’s too soft add more flour. Knead the dough 5-7 minutes. (Do NOT eat the dough) You can roll it (coil), flatten it (slab), pinch it. Keep it in a plastic bowl with lid to keep soft and use it within 2-3 days. You can make ornaments or other sculptures and you can bake the dough at 250 -300 degrees for 20-25 minutes if you want to paint your finished art.

Here’s an example of food ideas inspired by the Pop Artist Wayne Thiebaud.

Wayne Thiebaud is an American painter and Pop Artist best known for his still lifes of everyday objects such as colorful cakes, slices of pie, and candy pieces, such as lollipops. Pop Art is an art movement that emerged in the 1950s and 60s using everyday objects from popular and commercial culture such as products everyone can recognize.

Read along for the story: “When a Dragon Moves In” ----Scan QR Code OR Click Me! This book will inspire you to design your own castle and dragon art!

When a Dragon Moves In written by Jodi Moore If you build a perfect sandcastle a dragon will move in. He’ll settle in all cozy and peep at you from inside. And you’ll wonder how you ever got so lucky. With a dragon in your castle you’ll have a built-in marshmallow toaster, your very own raft, and a kite that practically flies by itself. Best of all, no beach bully will dare stomp your castle with a dragon inside. Of course, there are rules on the beach, so you’ll have to hide his smoke from the lifeguard and erase the dragon prints from the sand. Eventually, you’ll want to share the great news with your family. “There’s a dragon in my castle,” you’ll call to your mom. “Mmm hmmm,” she’ll answer. “Listen to him roar!” you’ll say. “I hear the roar of the ocean,” she’ll reply. “See this feather from my dragon’s wing,” you’ll ask your dad. “That’s a nice seagull feather,” he’ll say. And you know what feathers are good for. “Feel my dragon’s sharp teeth!” you’ll shout. “Those are just broken shells,” your big sister will say, but you and your dragon will know better. Just about then your dragon will demand to be fed. First, he’ll eat all the peanut butter sandwiches. Even the ones that were supposed to be for your sister. Then his fiery snout will make the lemonade sizzle. “Stop blowing bubbles in your drink,” your mom will say. “That wasn’t me,” you’ll answer. “That was the dragon.” Then you’ll hear a “hee hee hee” from deep inside the sand castle. Finally, since dragons love dessert, he’ll slink into the family cooler and nibble the brownies when no one is looking. “Whose fingerprints are in the brownies,” your dad will ask. “Not finger-prints, you’ll try to explain. “Dragon prints.” “There’s no such thing as a dragon,” your sister will say. Then your dragon will snicker again “hee hee hee” and spray sand all over her. “Young man, I don’t think this is funny,” your mom will say. “That wasn’t me,” you’ll answer. “It was the dragon.” “I think we’ve had enough of this dragon business,” your dad will say. “I guess I’ve had enough of this dragon business too,” you’ll sigh. Then you’ll march over to your sand castle and order your dragon to leave until he learns some manners. And you will vow never to build a perfect sand castle again. At least until tomorrow. The end.

Day 1- Math Activity Directions: Count the ocean animals and make a tally chart. Write the total. Next, create a bar graph for each ocean animal. You can use crayons or markers if you have them. Then answer the questions about the graph at the bottom.

Day 2- Math Activity Directions: Use the data given for #1 to create a tally chart, picture graph, and bar graph. Remember to write a title on the top and the dog names for the 3 categories on each graph and to write a scale from 0-10 at the bottom of the bar graph.

Day 3-Math Activity

Directions: Create your own 3D picture graph using items you can find in your house. Pick one of the following items: different coins from your piggy bank, a handful of Fruit Loops or jellybeans, a package of M&Ms or fruit snacks or something else that has 3 different shapes or colors. Make sure you have at least 10 of your selected item. If you don’t have any of these items at home, you can roll the die (from last week) 15 times and draw the number you land on.

1. Lay out your objects in rows by color or shape. See the example using coins below. 2. Label your categories. (Example: quarter, dimes, nickels, pennies) 3. Write 3 statements about your picture graph. Atl east 1 statement should use the word “more” to compare

two of your categories and 1 statement should use the word “less” to compare two of your categories. 4. Send a photo, recording or note of your graph or your statements to your teacher on Seesaw or by email.
