Pass the Shoe

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!!
