2nd Graders Learning About the Treble Clef Staff




Each music class students participate in the Note Identification Class Competition when entering the room. The class(es) with 100% at the end of the competition will be rewarded with a music game day towards the end of the year. This is very motivating for the students and I'm pleased with their progress in treble clef note recognition.


Students have been given time at the end of class to work independently with treble clef music apps on their iPads. They really enjoy this learning activity!

First Graders Experience Treble Clef Island

First Graders have been learning about the Treble Clef line and space note names
with the help of Freddie the Frog and Eli the Elephant!


The Freddie the Frog books by Sharon Burch 
are excellent teaching tools for the first grade treble clef staff unit!
The children learn about Treble Clef Island, 
which gives them a "place" to identify each line and space.
Visit Freddie the Frog's website for games and activities...
