To teach students and create background as well as work on puppets, and for sing and movement it takes 3-4 days.

But for performance and role play take one week to allow students to adjust to this activity so they know what to do when it is time to role play.

There are a lot of benefit in the music not only for education and other things that people used to for example their work about creating new music etc. But why music important in education? music help students to understand more we can engage the students in the subject like English, Math, and science its allow students to be more successful.

In the kindergarten we use music at begging of the class to let them engage and to be more active during the class. However we open music during the center time to relax their minds.

Children learn new things, like sounds, words and patterns through music. And with dance, they can explore and control their body movements.  These activities are great for development and stimulate connections in the growing brain.

when we gather the kids with songs, rhymes and actions lets them discover how to interact and connect with others.  They develop listening and social skills that will give them self-confidence and better prepare them for school.

Look at this video we use music during the centers time.

Role play is important because its develop in so many ways for children, first they will develop communication and language skills, second teach the students make sense of real-life situations. Role play is most effective way of acquiring language.

Movement is a joyful way for children to explore movement through music, develop physical skills.Through movement, children learn about their bodies, the space around them, and each other. Creative movement activities should encourage all children to participate.Creative Movement is a way for children to know themselves and to see connections with the rest of the world. This is a way for them to understand themselves and their relationship with the world. However, we can use movement in role play because they walk and move their bodies. Also for dance, when teach them song that has action like dance students will be able to move their fine motor skills. Body awareness is also important in the development of spatial orientation.

Jan Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory

Jean Piaget focused on the cognitive development of children, which means the way children process information and and problems solving during the role play, dance and movement, and music. Cognitive development refers to reasoning, thinking and understanding. Cognitive development is important for knowledge growth. The cognitive domain includes: cause-and-effect, spatial relationships, problem-solving, imitation when students do like teacher, memory, number sense, classification, and symbolic play. Which all of these the students develop through role play.

Beat:

Teacher will let students to get ready to clap, stomp and tap your knees, we are going to practice keeping a steady beat.

Teacher will open the music and ask them to listen and clap their hands try to keep a steady beat.

"wiggle wiggle"   one wiggle clap their hands second wiggle tap your foot.

" munch munch" clap but as he eating something.

The teacher will explain to them how we use dynamics Start with a slower low pitch " there is caterpillar" . and get louder and louder

Dynamics means how quietly or loudly a piece of music should be played. Dynamics are an important way of conveying the mood of a piece and your use of dynamics is a marked element of your performance.

Beginning level: Understand familiar world Counting number: (one, two, three, four five). Science:(Caterpillar, egg, leaf, butterfly, moon, sun).
English: (Days of the week, Apple, pears, orange, colors of the fruits).
Advanced level: Child expands concept of role (Reading the story and other students will act).

By counting, knowing the caterpillar's life cycle and knowing the days of the weeks they will develop their math, English and real-life problems.

The reason the children need to listen/read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is because it is a fabulous literary piece that extends across the curriculum. from kindergarten until up.
Science:
By listening to and/or reading this book, children can learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, proper food choices in the food pyramid (health/non-healthy).
Math:
Number sense, counting number from 1-5.

English:
Making predictions (reading and language arts),

Students will be able to know new vocabulary (science, math and reading).

The children will also learn about the author, illustrator, the title and make predictions as to why the author chose to write this story. The teacher will help them for answering giving example in real life.

During reading the story time l will ask students to support higher order thinking skills:

Knowledge:

What does a caterpillar turn into?
o (This question for the all level because the answer easily can found at the end of the book).

Application:

Why did the caterpillar have a stomachache?
o This is an application question because the students must apply knowledge gained from the book, such as the type of food the caterpillar ate.

Analysis:

Contrast a caterpillar with a butterfly.
o The statement requires students to break down and recognize the differences between a caterpillar and a butterfly.  (l will explain to them in simple language as they can understand).

Evaluation:

Do you agree with the caterpillar eating so much food?
o  Students need to create and defend their own opinion as to whether the caterpillar made a good choice, and therefore it is an evaluation question.

l choose story " the hungry caterpillar" and include the thee setting Drama/Role play, Music , and movement.
What I like most about the story that students can understand about the life cycle caterpillar which is happens in real life. The story is about the caterpillar eating foods, an activity that's easy for small children to relate to and understand.The text is also simple and very creative, with lots of repetition which enables littlies to predict what might be going to happen next. However, for extensions ideas, l can stop reading and let children to predict what will happen next giving them hints for example: what do you think what will happen next? did caterpillar will eat more fruits or no? ,this is lovely on its own but being able to predict what might happen next in a story is also an important pre reading skills.  This makes them feel clever and builds excitement through anticipation.

The theme is " The very hungry caterpillar". The reason l choose this theme because it linked to the three subjects which is English, Math , and Science. It teaches kids the days of the week and what food the caterpillar eats, and even offers a little counting lesson for example: one apple, two pairs, etc. It even carries a subtle message that healthy and non-healthy foods like a leaf are better for you, while eating too much sugary food could give you a stomachache like the caterpillar gets. Also, in this theme there is differentiation level like l can divided and give tasks for children.

Children will do a role play, first the teacher will choose one student to act like a caterpillar and other they will wear fruits and foods. Teacher will show them how to act. And the teacher will monitor students play the role play and act with them.

The children who is in the low achievers they will just wear the foods and stay in their places until the caterpillar eat the foods. He will just do the steps and movement the video show and teacher instructions. The teacher will come and help the low level in the role play and she will act with them.

The children’s who is in the Medium and high Achievers most of them they will wear the fruit and they will talk like “l am apple… ohhh the caterpillar come he want to eat me…”, and the teacher will let them to act by themselves.

Teacher will choose one student how’s on the high level and read the story and the students will act.
