Creative Movement and Awareness of Space

Have you ever noticed that kiddos seem to get in the space of others around them without even noticing it? It is because the neurons for special awareness have not yet developed fully and are still in need of molding. In music class, we are trying to exercise those neurons by practicing putting our bodies in different shapes while keeping our own space. Their goal was to form the shape of whatever card I was holding up without touching someone else near them. It's a lot harder than it looks! Check out these awesome kiddos learning about personal space!

Instrument Exploration

This week, the Kindergarteners got to explore classroom instruments for the first time! They were split into groups and rotated through the different percussion instrument groups. They got to play 5 different groups of instruments! They were: the woods, the shaker/scrapers, the metals, the membranes (drums), and the pitched percussion! We had a blast making chaotic music together!
