- Calling all the Monsters Just Dance (3 min)

- Frozen Let it Go Just Dance (4 min)

- YMCA Just Dance

- Baby Shark


Reflection:

What went well? The students all loved the all of the activities

What didn’t? The teacher never saw us explain the stations and how they were going to work at the beginning, which was too bad because I thought it went really well and I felt like a teacher for the very first time!

What would you go back and change? 10 min was a bit long for some students for the just dance. Maybe 8 min each instead!
