About "Folk Dance"
In first grade we have learned several Folk Dances. A Folk Dance has moves to the steady beat, you work/dance with a partner, and you follow the moves that the caller calls.
Some moves we have learned are do-si-do, two-hand turn, circle right & left, right/left arm swing and sashay.
Every Folk Dance has a Formation. A Formation is the way that you need to stand - we've learned Circle with Partners, Long-ways Set, and Scattered with Partners.
Trimester 3 ends in May. Our first grade Trimester 3 goals are "Students recognize high and low sounds; continue to improve singing voice; complete the 1st grade Performance Task; introduction of rhythm syllables."
Please see the April tab for more information on the 1st grade Performance Task.
