Intery Mintery

Intery, mintery, cutery corn
Apple seed and apple thorn
Wire briar timber lock
Five geese in a flock
Sit and sing by a spring
O-U-T and in again
- Mother Goose turned haunting

All SK musicians came together this week for a mini-performance of the above rhyme.
Oliver G., Grace, Sophie and Oliver S. chose sound effects instruments for the awakening of the dancing dead, who were portrayed by the rest of Anita's class and Elaine's class. Susan's class accompanied the dancers on the Orff pitched instruments in an arrangement written by Doug Goodkin, music specialist at The San Franciso School (K-8). Alto recorder was played by Peter, Alec and Lukas, while the tenor recorder "moaned" eerily as played by Maria, Mike and Max. We performed for the staff and one parent and a set of grandparents who happened to stop by. Later in the year, we may orchestrate our own poetry choice, letting the muses carry us away in dancing and sound. Happy Haunting! (and recycling, too!)..................
