This week and next we are learning about spatial concepts. Shape, Level, Direction, Size, Place, Pathway. Through games, songs, and props we are discovering the many ways in which we can move. 

This week we are identifying shapes, then playing with transferring those shapes onto our own bodies.  We experiment with diamonds, triangles, circles, ovals and pentagons, then change our shapes as we dance.   We also play with combining two or more shapes at a time.  We are putting together ‘shape’ sequences, performing ‘shape’ improvisations, and playing ‘guess my shape’.
