Our baby classes visited an imaginary park this week, complete with slides, swings, and see-saws. We listened for bumblebees, squirrels, birds, and ducks and learned the ASL signs for those. We danced, did lots of singing, played instruments, and read our Busy Days books.
Toddler and mixed-age classes had fun with plants and rain this week. It was a good week to do this theme because the children could go outside and sing their new rain songs, talk about how much plants like the rain, and look for rainbows. (***Proud mama alert***)Noah woke me up this morning by singing "Colors of the Rainbow."
Preschoolers were at the cottage this week in their "On The Road" class. We made breakfast drum corps-style--cooking to the rhythm with much flipping of our sticks. We experienced a leaky cottage with raindrops on our heads (and figured out how to make a musical rainstorm). We even learned how to be frogs...and what they REALLY sing (hint--it's not Gang goo).
Our big kids explored the music and instruments of Malaysia this week through a traditional story, "The DeerMouse and the Crocodile." Favorite activities included the lummi stick rhythm games, dancing "Down the River," and making a crocodile to take home.
P. S.--Welcome to our new class members that joined us this week!!
