Today, in First Grade, we played "Musical Zoo"---an expressive movement 'game' which involves students listening to music and showing, through movement, what animal "moves the way that the music sounds".
Me: Krista*, how come your animal is frozen? Are you a polar bear trapped in an iceberg?
Krista*: No, 'course not. I think the music sounds like snakes.
Me: Hmmm. Sounds good to me. But what's going on then? Why isn't your snake slithering about?
Krista* (looking at me with earnest eyes) Well, see, I'm a dead snake!
*Krista is, of course, not this young musician/dancer's real name.

Hickory--she started a trend for the rest of the class--too bad I wasn't playing Chopin's "Funeral March"!
