Express Yourself: Move Like Wildflowers

Last week the children had a thrilling time listening to the story of the Gunnywolf and today they had as many thrills acting the story out! The children pretended to be the little girl and I was the Gunnywolf and every time the Gunnywolf woke up the children were not supposed to run away, it it took immense self control to stay put and wait till the story told them to move but with practice they did it!  We've made plans to practice this story again and then act it out for the other children.

We've been thinking about garden flowers and wild flowers and I asked the children . . . 
If you were a wild flower and you could lift your roots out of the ground and move, 
what would you move like?

The children used colorful scarves and listened to three pieces of music 
and let their bodies respond to the sounds.

William Tell Overture - Rossini  

Sabre Dance - Aram Khachaturian  Four Seasons - Vivaldi



Ryleigh in mid air!
