As my theme this year is "Music Around the World," I've been looking into lots of different folk songs from around the world. I found this little gem, Kokoleoko. I've found it in several different places, all slightly different versions. The version below is the most common, found in "Spotlight on Music, Grade 5," as well as several South American sources. If you change one note of this song (the f sharp to an a), it is a great recorder piece - using only the notes G-A-B-C, as shown in this example: The translation is pretty simple. Apparently "Kokoleoko" is just another way of saying "cock-a-doodle-doo," and "ahby" is "goodbye." Now, each source I find this song says something different about where exactly it's from. Most often, they say either Liberia or Ghana. So, I've just labeled it as a West African folk song to be more accurate. Anyway, this song is great for teaching the half note, which I do in 2nd grade. We spend awhile preparing, using songs that have half notes, before actually labeling what they are. This song is also great if you bring it back in the end of 3rd/beginning of 4th, or whenever you teach syncopation. There is a clapping game that goes with this. It looks more complicated than it actually is. My 2nd graders are challenged by this, but really enjoy doing it. You can watch an example below: I recently made a Teachers Pay Teachers product for this song that has rhythmic practice slides, melodic practice slides, clapping game instructions, and notation for both voice in the original version and recorder in the revised version. You can find it here: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Browse/Search:kokoleoko There is even a great treble choral arrangement out there by Mary Donnelly and George Strid. Here's a cute recording I found of it on YouTube: Hope you can find use for this great song! My kids are absolutely loving it :)

Often times, I find myself trying to explain cognitive distortions to some of my middle school kids. “The world will end if Johnny doesn’t ask me out,” “Nothing ever goes right for me,” or “I just know the reason Sarah sat across the room is because she hates me” sometimes make me feel like pulling ...
This is a timeline of the history of the modern Olympics The idea for the revival of the Olympic Games began in 1892 when Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France founded the International Olympic Committee and began planning the first modern Olympic Games. The questions require students to not only use the timeline to locate information, but some of the questions require math computation as well. I have other timelines available. I find this is a skill my 4th grade students struggle with. So I give them a number of practices using timelines to answer questions about relevant and interesting information. Take a look at my store. I have a number of other high interest timelines for sale. Here are a few: The History of Toys The History of Gaming Consoles The Life of Dr. Seuss The History of the Iditarod Race The History of the Modern Olympics The History of the Winter Olympics The History of Snack Foods The History of the Cell Phone The History of the Arizona Cardinals The History of the Seattle Seahawks CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.4.7 Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages).
