Springtime Songs and music

Waltz of the flowers.   Spinning windmill flowers from the dollar store make great waltzing flowers


Little Arabella has a very annoying pet caterpillar!



puddles are for jumping



this is one wiggly wiggly worm


and a little wiggly worm music



Bumble Bee wind socks from the dollar store make great props for our Flight of the Bumblebee Song



little sees wake up in the springtime and grow!



Some bugs are helpful, but others are not.  We had fun tiptoe-ing up to them and giving them a good SWAT!



MUD!  SCHLORP!  SCHLORP!

Musical Instrument Exploration

 This past week we explored lots of different musical instruments from around the world.  We explored instruments from Africa, South America, Japan, China, Latvia, the Phillipeans, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam, Australia, and America.  The instruments were set up in a circle around the room and the kids rotated from one instrument to the next so everyone got to try every instrument & then each of us got to tell which was our favorite!
