rhythm = pattern of sound and silence by reminding ss to keep up with the speed of the
song, and make sure to pat their laps correctly to make sure there is only noise when there
should be and quiet when it should be. The rhythm will be used when we sing the song
with the lyrics as well.

the tempo and getting the correct rhythm to the song.
● T will teach the chorus of “Up, Up, Up!” through the chunking method, singing one line
at a time.
