Fabulous Four Seasons

  We have had so much fun learning about the fabulous four seasons this week. We have been singing about them, playing games about them, and creating trees from each season. Check out our beautiful seasons art pictures. For a special treat from this week, ask your child to sing the four seasons song! It's sure to bring a smile to your face. :)

Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition--Week 2--Africa

  We had so much fun in our Music Around the World Class on Friday! We began our morning by reviewing our songs from last week. Ask your child to sing "Mele Kalikimaka" and "Roo, Roo the Kangaroo" for you! We are really working hard to learn the words for these two songs.  After a quick review, we jumped into learning all about our new country of the day--Africa!


We were introduced to some special places from Africa and learned about animals and instruments that are unique to this country. Then, we were in for a fabulous treat--a visit from a real musician, Mr. Mark! Mr. Mark taught us about some of Africa's favorite instruments--drums! He played several different types of drums for us. We loved them all! Then, we enjoyed some traditional African music from the African Children's Choir. We were so inspired by these musical experiences that we decided to create our own African instruments--drums, shakers, and tamborines. Finally, we learned our own rousing rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" complete with African drums, shakers, and tamborines! Here is a show of our morning! Check it out and let us know what you think by leaving a comment below. We have also included some pictures from another great day! We hope that you enjoy them! Today was so much fun! We can't wait until next week! :)
