Everything Starts with a Dot

Come and join me as we explore the many FUN possibilities and joys a dot can bring to our lives. From using children’s literature as a vehicle to introduce and explore mixed meter, to introducing the syncopation rhythmic building block through a simple, short, yet dramatic story that all students can relate to. We will be making connections to art and movement as we create and merge different disciplines. At the end of this workshop, you would be able to take these ideas to your classroom the next day.

Materials Needed: 3 pieces of paper and any color markers.
