To complete the semester of learning, my class was able to perform for another second grade class. We first performed the Israeli Zemir Atik dance. The students did it by themselves with a little bit of prompting from me. Following that the students performed a loosely structured dance I called "The Conversation". The students responded to a picture I held up relating to a question and answer. For example, I held up a picture of a rabbit. Depending upon if the student had a pet or not they responded in a certain way we had practiced. Other questions or prompts included: how many siblings do you have?, what kind of a house do you live in?, what is your favorite holiday?. In between the questions, the students locomoted to different places in the room using their favorite way to locomote. To begin and end the dance, the students chose one of their favorite activities and embodied it in a shape. Overall, the students did a great job and I think our audience wanted to join them! I've learned quite a bit in teaching these second graders and hope they'll continue dancing! Taking a bow!
