Music Around the World--A Christmas Edition--Week 5--South America

  What an exciting day we had at our Music Around the World Class today! We learned all about South America and two of their favorite instruments--rainsticks and shakers. After exploring some of the special places you can visit in Brazil, we were able to learn about a day in the life of a boy from Brazil. We also saw some of the different ways that you can make a rainstick or shaker. We enjoyed learning about the rainsticks and shakers so much that we decided to make our very own rainsticks and shakers. Then, we had the privilege of singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with our new instruments. Finally, we reviewed two of our favorite songs, "Mele Kalikimaka" and "Jolly Ole' Saint Nicholas". We had such a fabulous day and can not wait until next week! Here are some pictures and a video from our exciting day! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Powerful Positional Words

    This week during our Social Studies lessons we have been studying about positional words (prepositional phrases). Through exciting and sometimes silly games and songs we have been learning about over/under/on, inside/outside, near/far, and left/right. Check out our show below and see all the fun things that we have been up to this week. Be aware...you just might find yourself humming along!

Country Critters Farm
