A Time to Dance

This morning the Kindergarten classes in our school presented a rhythm and movement program. They began with a song using rhythm sticks. Every child was on the beat!! The program continued with a 'rock & roll" number. It was an excellent demonstration of isolating different parts of the body to the beat. The children did a super job with the parachutes. The program ended with square dancing. This was an outstanding way for our PE teachers to show off the many skills they have taught the children. These skills are so important to us all. As we know people are better readers when they have a concept of rhythm and rhyme. Balance and coordination are life long skills. As we get older, they tend to get more important. Today, I witnessed a great example of a true and meaningful physical education program. We should all do more dancing!!! It is good for us.
