This was a 4 day week at school due to Veteran's Day on Friday. However, we still got a lot accomplished! The principals at Mylan Park have been encouraging staff members to integrate dance and movement into the curriculum. They made CDs for the staff with fun dance songs on it like The Cupid Shuffle, The Electric Slide, The Cha Cha Slide, and the YMCA. I started teaching my kindergartners the Cha Cha Slide and the Cupid Shuffle and they love it! We sometimes do it during transition times, such as in between literacy and math stations. We also sometimes do it as a reward if they are quiet and working hard during Writing Workshop. It gives the students something to look forward to and gives them a chance to move around.
