3 45 min
Classes are 45 minutes. But for older students, the time frame could go for 50 minutes to one hour depending on availability.
In-School Short Term Residency This program is an in-school short term residency. There is a minimum of 3 classes a day for a period of 3 days in a row or not. The time frame of classes will be decided in subsequent conversations with the site coordinator.
All year.

Music, props if necessary, lesson plans.
Paper and writing tools which I'm sure they have.
My goal is to be able to do this work partially in the classroom so teachers can see how to implement some movement right in the confines of their own space. Also an open space like stage or empty room is needed.
I can use movement to learn about the different science topics that we study in the classroom. I can use action words taken from any science subject and use those action words to create movement/dance sequences to learn the subject physically. I can self regulate my behavior and be responsible during movement time.
With this program, I don't mind if a parent or two is in the classroom seeing this activity take place. By checking out my process, parents can perhaps utilize these ideas at home also.

Grade 6

Grade 6: MS.Engineering Design: MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems: The more precisely a design task"s criteria and constraints can be defined, the more likely it is that the designed solution will be successful. Specification of constraints includes consideration of scientific principles and other relevant knowledge that are likely to limit possible solutions. (MS-ETS1- 1)
Grade 6: Physical Education: Standard 1: Demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns. S1.M1.6 Dance and rhythms: Demonstrates correct rhythms and pattern for one of the following dance forms: folk, social, creative, line or world dance.
Grade 6: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard: 1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. DA:Cr1.1.6: b.Explore various movement vocabularies to transfer ideas into choreography.

Grade 7: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard: 1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. DA:Cr1.1.7: b.Explore various movement vocabularies to express an artistic intent in choreography. Explain and discuss the choices made using genre-specific dance terminology.

Grade 8

Grade 8: MS.Engineering Design: MS-ETS1-1: Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems: The more precisely a design task"s criteria and constraints can be defined, the more likely it is that the designed solution will be successful.

Grade 8: Physical Education: Standard 1: Demonstrates competency in a variety of motor skills and movement patterns. S1.M1.8 Dance and rhythms: Exhibits command of rhythm and timing by creating a movement sequence to music as an individual or in a group.
Grade 8: Dance: Creating: Anchor Standard: 1. Generate and conceptualize artistic ideas and work. DA:Cr1.1.8: a.Implement movement from a variety of stimuli (for example, music, observed dance, literary forms, notation, natural phenomena, personal experience/recall, current news or social events) to develop dance content for an original dance study or dance.
