Cut the Cake

Cut the Cake

Second graders were really hungry, so we “Cut the Cake.”

First we started off with a fun game about cake. Since it was such a nice day, we played the game outside.

 

 

 

 

 

Then we reviewed quarter rest, quarter note, and eighth note.

 

 

 

 

Next we read the book, A Cake All for Me, written by Karen Magnuson Beil

 

 

 

 



Then, we talked about measurements and applied this to music.

 

 

 

 



Finally, we got out the hand drums and practiced rhythms from these "cake" rhythm cards that I created.

 

 



 

 

 

 

As the students were leaving, I told them to go home and eat some cake!
