Dear Parents,
During January, Kindergarten students worked on the PYP unit Senses. We discussed
the role of the senses in dance and drama performance. It was great that the students
came up with an idea that each performance has an audience and performers; there-
fore we observed the role of our senses from these two different perspectives. We
tried out a lot of unusual things. We danced without music and shared feelings and
thoughts of a “quiet dancer”, while the audience tried to guess the main idea of the
“quiet dance”. Then, we danced and observed dances with our eyes closed. Kindergar-
teners were real critical thinkers – they concluded that senses help us feel better, but
are not essential if we are performers; while from the perspective of an observer some
senses are irreplaceable.
