Re: end of year lessons
Posted by Lismusic on 5/15/08

    I did folk dancing with my 2nd and 3rd gr. the last week. My
    2nd's did one called "Irish Stew" dance, which they LOVED and my
    3rd's did the "Fskjern". They had a lot of fun and really
    worked well as a class. I also have them sing one or two
    goodbye/appreciation song to their homeroom teacher on their
    last music day. We call this our end of the year present to
    their teacher for a job well done. The teachers really look
    forward to this.:)
