Good morning Mrs. Johnsons 1st grade class!

to make all the faces for each emotion. Remember
the movie we watched, Inside Out and these

their character if the song playing makes them

feel like their character.
Ex.1-Beethovens Symphony No.5
Ex.2- Brahms Hungarian Dance No.5
Ex.3-Coplands Hoe-Down(0:39)
Why does_______ have a different character
than______?
Pick up all the Inside Out characters and Hand
out streamers. The students need to wave the
streamers in a way to express the music. They
need plenty of room so they can spread out and
use their arms and legs. Play these examples:
Ex.1-Gustav Hulsts Jupiter
Ex.2-Beethovens Symphony No. 8 Mv. 2
Ex.3-Kabalevskys Galop.
As you take up the streamers ask these questions;
1. What are the names of the
emotions/characters that we talked about
today?
2. Raise your hand and say one new thing
you learned today.
