Tooth is Lost and We Play "King of the Mountain"


Today I lost a tooth. At the start of the day, my tooth was wiggling a little. For three or four hours in class, I wiggled it and wiggled it. Greg lost a tooth. I didn’t wiggle it at music, but I started wiggling once I got to recess. I had already gotten the tooth off, and it was connected by a tiny tidbit of skin. I twisted it, and “Pop!” The tooth came out!
Today our class played “King of the Mountain” in Music. This game was very simple. Every student would sit in a circle, and rhythm cards would be handed out. The person who got the rhythm card with three sixteenth notes and one quarter note following it would be the King. The King would clap his rhythm and say the beats (sixteenth notes: tic-a-tic-a, eighth note: tee-tee, quarter note: ta, half-note: twooooooooooooooooooooooooo, whole note: whole note three four) and then do the same to another person’s rhythm. Then that person would repeat the process to his own rhythm and to somebody else’s. This would go on until somebody made a mistake. He would go to the right of the King, the dungeon, and everybody starting from the left of his original spot and ending at the King would move right one spot to the next card.
