Challenge on the "welcome song"
So I did get caught up in a challenge, I looked at the PLO's that were met by the welcome song. The song can meet PLO's for Drama in the exploration and imagination and drama skills themes for grades K to 5. It can also meet PLO's for Music in the structure theme, mostly grades k to 3 but can fit the PLO of "use singing skills to reproduce melodies" that goes to grade 5. For Dance the motions can meet PLO's in Elements of Movement and Presentation and Performance themes for grades K to 3. For kinders the song can meet language arts PLO's for oral language A11 and A12 which are speaking clearly enough to be understood by peers and adults; and demonstrate auditory discrimination. Of course as we are learning in assessment it can only meet those PLO's if we assess for them.

Well done. I like the way you've looked at the curriculum overall and not just focused on one grade. We have many of the same tricks up our sleeves whether we are assigned one grade or another. Our ability to switch grades successfully if we choose or are required to do so will depend on our ability to adjust our "tricks", i.e. favourite songs, activities, stories, to the outcomes for the new grade.
