We Challenge

It's been a good week of Samba. Having shorter schools, has allowed us to have more Samba time with the kids. The time has been spent presenting new things, working on music and challenging the kids.

This week both groups received a music folder. Something that we are doing differently this time, is we are using a similar ranking system. With this system the students are learning how to read music. So they now have the tools to learn music both by listening to it but also by being able to read notes on a paper. Of course they each got a different song with different rhythms.
They all looked pretty excited.

We have also challenged our students to show more respect, responsiblilty and caring then usual. The challenge that was given to them was that when they get picked up or dropped off they will greet that person with a smile, a thank you and a hug. Show apprecitiation and gratitude for their loved ones.
