I haven't used Garage Band yet, but it sounds like a great addition to the story. Thanks for that idea! It sounds like your kids are getting a lot out of dance class! They are very lucky to have you!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168480272192064844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220254989757566466.post-78954031676458455892009-12-04T19:57:01.828-05:002009-12-04T19:57:01.828-05:00I just had my Kinder-Tree show with my Kindergarte...I just had my Kinder-Tree show with my Kindergarteners. They are learning about trees and how plants grow in their classroom. I created a powerpoint story with images of a seed all the way to leaves falling. I used Garage Band to create different sounds to match the images as well as songs about trees. The students helped make the movements that match the story from beginning to end and also the music/sounds helped to carry the story. I edited the sound clips to make on long song.<br />I also had the kids label and draw a section of the dance where they were dancing: seed shape, roots, branches, tree shape, rain, green leaves etc...<br />At recess outside the kids would point out the changing leaves and practice making shapes with there bodies or pratice falling like a leaf.<br />It has been such a great and creative experience and the kids talk about it non stop. So awesome!<br />Thanks for creating a web space to let us share so we can all grow as a community of dance educators and intern educate our kids and support our very special and amazing discipline.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915101780259382593noreply@blogger.com
