4k, 5k, and 1st Grade First Steps
On this page you will find a choice menu for each step of the First Steps workout! Usually we pick one or two activities from each category per class period. I am working on creating content but there are also many videos already out there for each category, so until I can make videos myself, there will be commercially available videos linked here as well. The 9 steps are:
1. Keeping the Beat
2. Pitch Exploration
3. Echo Songs
4. Simple Songs
5. Ariosoland
6. Movement Exploration
7. Fingerplays, Action Songs, and Circle Songs
8. Move it!
9. Songtale
Many of these activities can be found at the link below and are constantly being added to!

1. Keeping the Beat
These are the songs playing when students enter class. They usually begin with tapping their heads as they come in, and then we get creative with the different ways we can keep the beat! Tapping shoulders and clapping are both developmentally difficult actions, so we use those options sparingly. This would be a great time to practice your snapping fingers! We tap different body parts, such as head, knees, toes, floor, hands, nose, etc.
