An Dro Retourne--Social Studies

Along with our Turkey in the Straw day we did a second day talking about folk dance in relation to social studies. We did a dance called An Dro Retourne which is a dance from France that is based in walking and skipping. Before the lesson I had thought about the fact that An Dro Retourne was not incredibly complicated but I had not thought about how quick the skipping was. This meant I had to adjust quickly during the lesson. We added an option of doing a slower step hop and then later when they were more comfortable with the sequence allowed them to try to do the quicker walk walk walk skip.
