1A. Warm up

Teaching artist Roxanne Rojas shows a kindergarten class how to incorporate various body movements (i.e. stretching the neck or arms) while incorporating music. Activities include repeating specific words the teacher states while developing the children’s listening and vocabulary skills.

1D. Guided Practice

The teacher, Roxanne Rojas, splits the students into two groups and allows them as a group to decide on two axial body parts movements that they would like to use to make a dance. Roxanne then challenges the students by asking them questions such as what specific types of movements they used. The Raxanne tells the students to applaud for each group that performed their dance by reminding the students of the different agreements they had discussed: respect, unity, imagination, and focus.
