The Market Place and "Molly Malone"



On Thursday 4th and 5th graders learned the Irish marketplace song "Molly Malone," as a platform for understanding compound meter. At the same time it gave us chance to focus on the way melody follows the rhythm of spoken language. The kids also seemed to have a lot of fun improvising their own marketplace calls.

Everybody enjoy the three day weekend!
