Are your students ready for springtime? Are you ready? Springtime brings a whole new set of dynamics into the music classroom. Students are “wiggly”, they want to be outside playing, testing is ongoing and the school year is winding down. My first of the year lessons are significantly different than the lessons I’m using right now. The difference is that I’m using movement activities as the main event! The learning goals are achieved through students moving. So, for the week after Easter, I’m using some bunny themed activities in my classroom. That’s why I want to share with you this free bunny movement activity song.
