K-5 Grade Motown ABC song Music Lesson by Mrs. Carol Louise Moore

Today I will be introducing a 

MOTOWN song called 

"ABC" 

by the Jackson 5

This picture shows 

Michael Jackson in the middle,

and his 4 brothers.

They were called the "Jackson 5"

because their last name was Jackson

and there was 5 of them. LOL

Now this is your cue to...

What is MOTOWN?

Motown is a Record Corporation,

where they produced records from accomplished singers, 

like the Jackson 5.

MOTOWN music started in April of 1960. 

They had 79 records made that were in the top ten

between 1960 and 1969.

Now, Back to the Jackson 5 and,

their "ABC" song from the Book of Love.

Here they are singing the song, when they were younger.

Now here is the Jackson 5 a little older

doing a "ABC" Television clip

from off of the "Carol Burnett Show"

You can watch the full episode at home later, 

if you want.

Now it's time to watch a fun

MODERN "ABC" song

in another school setting.

Try to sing along and have fun.

I'll have to do a video of me teaching you

how to do some fun clapping rhythm

to this video sometime soon. 

OKAY,

Let us see if you can try to sign ,with your hands

using American Sign Language

to some of the lyrics from the "ABC" song:

Let's start with A,B, and C

Good Job!

Now let's do the numbers 1,2,3

That was great!

Do you remember the "DO, RE, MI" song

 from the Sound of Music,

where Julie Andrews taught the kids how to learn to sing?

Now let's practice DO, RE, and MI

to sing with the A,B,C song

Okay, time to put them together in the song.

Oh, Wait, I forgot the part of the song that says

"Like "I" before "E", except after "C"

and 2 + 2 is 4"

Here are those hand signs:

LIKE

BEFORE

EXCEPT AFTER

AND 

PLUS

IS

ALRIGHT, NOW IT'S TIME

TO PUT IT TOGETHER IN THE SONG

Here are the lyrics to practice

with my tip to not sing the word "Girl" 

to make the song apply for everyone to sing. 

YOU

THINGS YOU NEVER NEVER KNEW BEFORE

GOOD JOB

The next part of this lesson is geared 

for the 3rd Graders,

HOWEVER, I'm going to be nice and

let K through 5 do this lesson

at the beginning of every school year.

THIS IS WHERE WE WILL NOW GO TO THE

"MOTOWN" cartoon series 

located on "NETFLIX",

After you watch the video

showing the boy who is really singing

the "ABC" song for the theme song

to the MOTOWN cartoon song

on "NETFLIX". 

LOL. (That was a mouthful of words, right there.)

Here you can have fun watching the "ABC" theme song 

to the MOTOWN series.

Don't forget to...

Try to practice your hand signs I just taught you.

Now you can go watch the very first episode

to the MOTOWN cartoon series on Netflix.

Just type, "MOTOWN", when you get there. 

Sincerely,

 Mrs. Carol Louise Moore
