Last week in music, First Grade discussed TEMPO. We learned the terms Largo, Andante, Allegro, and Presto. These are Italian words that describe the tempo of a song (how fast or slow). We also began passing beanbags on the beat to a song that gets faster and faster!
This week we are singing Tony Chestnut at each of these tempos. And, playing a passing game called Pass The Shoe. This is a tough concept for a 6 year old!! Everyone has to keep the beat, pass and pick up at the same time and in the same direction!! Here are a few classes. They did a terrific job and it was a ton of fun!!
