In Monday's classes kindergarteners explored the ideas of using movement to illustrate a musical point with couple of animal-themed pieces.
In the "Wolf Game" the student playing the wolf was asked to mime some of the activities associated with getting up the morning, while in "Grizzly Bear" the students worked collectively to develop a moment piece that illustrated a song about a bear who was very annoyed to be woken up.
First graders focused on movement as well. Using scarves they developed movements to suggest falling leaves which were lifted again by gusts of wind. In the process, hopefully, they also began to develop their awareness of descending and ascending pitch patterns.
