The early primary students are also learning a new dance called the Kinderpolka! This is a very cute circle dance with a partner. This dance helps students learn skills such as
-spatial awareness
-following the beat
-working with a partner
-memory of different sequences of the dance (there are 4 different parts in total)
-cooperation with different class mates as their partner changes each day we practice the dance
I am hoping that one of our classes will perform the dance at our January recognition assembly. Details to follow!
Students in Mrs. Jungwirth's class - have started a NEW unit on the ukulele! They are also beginning with the song, "Lean On Me". Students are learning the names of the strings, how to read chord diagrams, proper playing technique and how to create different chords. We will also be learning how to play the ukulele using a finger plucking technique. Lots of fun!!
