Sixteenth and Eighth Note Rhythms

Fourth Graders have started learning about a new rhythm "Ti-Tika" (one eighth note connected to two sixteenth notes).  The students have asked if they can sing the new song and have a copy of the words. I follow another teacher's blog where I found the idea for this lesson.  If you'd like (or your student) would like to see the lyrics and music, click on her site:

Fun with Fruit

The song is from Finland and is a beautiful melody.  Students will be creating their own rhythm patterns from fruit next week.  Can't wait to see how it turns out!
