A is for Action, Adagio & Allegro

On Monday and Tuesday we read the book Hello Toes! Hello Feet! by Ann Whitford Paul. We explored many different things that our feet can do like jumping, stamping, spinning, leaping, etc. We also started to learn about the letter ‘A’.



Owen's Action Painting

In art, we looked at the action painting Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) by artist Jackson Pollack. Then the children made their own action paintings using marbles dipped in paint.

We explored the tempo terms adagio (slow) and allegro (fast, lively) in music. First, we listened to some music compositions and decided if they were adagio or allegro. Then we continued to learn about fast and slow tempo by moving to the music compositions.

We ended the day by singing the Apple & Banana song.
