I was really excited for this lesson because I arranged my own song based on the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and lyrics about adaption borrowed from the website listed below.

Almost all the students were attentive, engaged and determined during the rhythm clapping section of the lesson. I was impressed with how soon they got the rhythms right when I challenged them to get it right after two tries.
Transitioning to the song was fun but needed to be a little more engaging. Next time, I'll put the lyrics up on the board or have clearer actions for them to follow.
It will be an adventure for them to put the music and rhythms together in Rondo Form next time but I think they are up for the challenge.
