• Start with a song

Everyday, the students start the class singing a song. Normally this song is related with the topic that they are studying in class, for example, if they are studying the sports this song will talk about sports. 

While children are singing the song they can  do whatever they want. They can stand up, dance with their classmates  or move around the class. But, the most important think is that they have to sing the song.

During AMCO's methodology students work the eight different multiple intelligences of Gardne. Due to this fact, during the song they work with the musical intelligence.
