My Students

Do you remember learning to dance in school? My students are excited to learn about dances from around the world and these tinikling poles will give them yet another opportunity to learn about other countries and their culture.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds.

They are elementary students in kindergarten through fifth grade that are still trying to discover their place in the world. Our school was built over 70 years ago, so our space is limited in the activities we can do in the gym during P.E.

My Project

We are asking for 6 sets of tinikling poles. Each set has 2 poles which is used to beat, tap, and slide in a pattern as another student dances outside or between the poles. This is a dance started in the Philipines. Through the teaching and learning of dance, students learn about countries and cultures from around the world.

These tinikling poles will be used by my students year after year as we dig into international dance and its effect on the world around us.

It will give all students the confidence to dance in a variety of ways that helps both our bodies and our minds.
