Week 6
I'd like to take this week as a music catch up week. I have heard from a few of you that have handed in the Tchaikovsky worksheet but I'd like to hear from more of you! So, If you are able, please either turn in the worksheet and/or make a comment in the comment box below about something you liked about the movie, or Swan Lake clip. I would love to hear from you! (This is also possibly the last week I will have time to grade things in a timely manner because my baby is due next week! So, please pray for me, and I will make sure Mrs. Healy sends out an announcement and picture when it happens.)
Weeks 4 & 5
Week 3
For the next 2 weeks I would like you to try and watch the movie "Leap!" This movie is available on Netflix. It features music from Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" and "The Nutcracker".
​
Since I am not able to show this movie on my own, I understand if you are unable to get access to this movie. Please no not feel obligated to watch this movie if there is an issue getting the means to view the movie. This is just a nice way to finish up learning about Tchaikovsky and to slow down to watch a movie with your family. I would also like to add this movie is rated PG so parents must give permission.
​
Enjoy!

Watch this very famous dance called the Dance of the Little Swans from Tchaikovsy's ballet "Swan Lake"
Ok, it's week 3 of being at home and doing our very best at remotely learning and well....keeping sane. So this week, everybody has the same music activity. Including you parents!!! This week, I want all of you you take a take a well deserve dancing break! Get up out of your chairs, put down any books, clear your mind from any worries, and just. move. your. body! Get the whole family involved and choose an upbeat song to dance to! It can be just that! but here are some fun extensions to keep the fun going.
​
1. Have each family member pick a song to make the dance party longer.
​
2. Dance with a tissue on your head and try not to let it fall off. If it does, catch it before it touches the ground!
​
3. Make it a freeze dance
​
4. Make it a song with fast a slow sections and change your dancing style
​
