Mini Lesson 9/12

For our warmup, Lexi will teach. Each child does a different stretch. Attached with each stretching movement there is a number. When a student number is called out the class will preform their stretching movement. After our warmup Haley will participate in a dance movement circle in which you will add on a move to the person before you, making a collective dance in the end. Activities will go after our warmup. Lana and Madison will then start the element movement. Everyone in the class will choose an element., earth, fire, water or air. They will then move depending on which element they chose, the class and other students not knowing who is what element. If comfortable, students will express which element they chose and why. What does this movement make you feel? At the end of all activities we will conclude our session together and collectively ask questions, how was this experience? We will do a debrief and moment of mindfulness, allowing students to reflect on the experience.
