Music and movement is a big part of the kindergarten curriculum. It allows students to explore and express themselves in a new way. We love to experiment with a variety of different musical instruments. We have used shakers, bells, drums and boomwhackers (picture above - tubes you hit on the ground that make different sounds). We recently made our own instruments to explore music. We talk about loud and soft sounds, fast and slow, low and high sounds and more recently we have been talking about beat and rhythm. We learn different songs to help incorporate and explore the curriculum. We like to make up different dance moves to songs! It's lots of fun!
