Planning Performances Without Compromising Curriculum

"How are we expected to teach our curriculum, with the spring performances looming?"
In this session, we will explore the ways in which curricular content can be adapted and modified to meet the needs of a spring performance.
Pieces will be drawn from the Schulwerk, and examples will be given for grades 1-5.
Come prepared to play, sing, dance, and create as we explore the ways curriculum can be integrated into performance!
