Wolf (We are Dancing) - So-Mi-La

Melody Unit - 2nd graders learn this song and demonstrate the melodic direction on their bodies. Students seem to do better with large motor movements than the Curwen hand signs at this age. (Don't get me wrong: I still use Curwen hand signs.) So, for "so," students touch their shoulders, for "la," they touch their heads, and they pat knees for "mi."
