Let's Dance

Prep students danced using balloons.
Prep Students danced using white ribbons.
Prep students did their summative assesment using the utensil they preffered.
From January 7 to Feb 15, 2008 the students expressed their response to music using their bodies and utensils. Teachers provided different utensils every week and expected that students will be able to express their feelings in response to music using their bodies and utensils.
This activity was fun. We could see some students were confident (moved their bodies when the music started) and risk-takers (chose different utensils to express their feelings). The utensils that we used are : balloons, paper flags, ribbon.
At the first week, we introduced the concept by asking the students to use their bodies in response to music. And for the Summative Assesment, teachers asked the students to choose the utensil they preferred to express their feelings in response to the music to fulfill the summative assessment.
