Kindergarten week of 8.29-9.2

This week in kindergarten, after we warmed up our voices, we did a fast/slow exercise using Brahms' Lullaby and the William Tell Overture by Rossini. We "rocked the baby" (a real stuffed animal if we had it, otherwise we made a rocking motion) to the lullaby so we could feel its slowness; then, we galloped around the room to the William Tell Overture. Then, we listened to a few other snippets of music to decide whether they were slow or fast, and we decided which other things were slow (turtles, rowboats) and which were fast (airplanes, trains). We also read the book Fiddle-I-Fee.
