Each 2nd grade class took the chant, "Pumpkin Patch" and created a melody to go with it. All three classes created their piece in minor, but there are differences in each one. Here are the words and the recordings of the three 2nd grade classes. Didn't they do an amazing job? We talked about how they are all composers. If I stumbled across any one of these pieces in a music book, I'd think they would be good ones to teach my students!!! If they are writing melodies like this in 2nd grade, just imagine what they could do if they continue composing as they get older!
