Kindergarten and 1st share a 6-day rotation.

Ask the related arts team which day it is for K and 1st.

General Class Structure:

          Each of the 4 parts of the class are scored. 

          An additional score is given for Teacher's Choice (to indicate whether the teacher enjoyed teaching because the students were kind and engaged.)

          SCORES are written down on the taped portion of the whiteboard near the sound system. Students will point to the spot.

Part 1: Entrance - students come into the classroom quietly and sit on their assigned areas of the color carpets (see the seating charts at the bottom of the rosters). Students will: 

• sing the "24-25 Entrance Song" (or the "Domains Of Music" song for K and 1st).  You can allow a student to lead, but have him/her sit down after the singing portion when it's time for you to lead students through the music skill drills. 

• Do echo patterns with 4-beat body movements, 

• Do echo patterns singing 4-beat melodies, and 

• Have students read rhythm flash cards. You'll find them on the table next to the printer.

When the song ends: 

• share the objectives for the day, and 

• pick two concert masters and write a CM next to their names on the seating chart. 

• SCORE the Entrance. 2 pts if the entire class participated with few redirects. 1 pt if most students participated with some redirects. 0 pts if too much redirecting of student behavior was required.

Part 2: Movement - students spread out and:

• stretch to the stretch video, and 

• dance to the movement videos. 

• After the last movement video, SCORE the Movement. 2 pts for full class participation. 1 pt if most students stayed focused. 0 pts if too many are off task.

Part 3: Lesson - students return to their seats. 

• Teacher guides students through the lesson part of the class.

• At the end, SCORE the lesson. 2pts for lots of participation. 1pt for most students on task. 0 pts for too many off task.

Part 4: Wrap Up - play the wrap up music. Students will line up to leave and sit down in their number order. Concert Masters remain in their chairs.

• Teacher will ask students to describe what they learned/did in class.

• Concert Masters will each choose 2 star students. Teacher will place a star on the roster under the name of each student chosen.  Concert Masters will get in line. 

• Teacher will SCORE Wrap Up: 2 pts if all were quiet and engaged in recap. 1 pt if some students were talking or off task. 0 pts if too many were off task. 

Teacher's Choice - give the students a score for your enjoyment of the class. If they were nice to you and to each other give them 2 points. If they were sort of irritating and required a lot redirection, give them 1 point. If they argued with each other and/or (multiple students) were disrespectful to you, give them 0 points.
