Dinosarus ROAR!

This week we sang about dinosaurs and then marched around the room to our favorite song, "We are the Dinosaurs", by Laurie Berkner. 

We talked about loud dinosaurs who "ROAR"

and soft dinosaurs who "squeak"

Then we played our "claves" (sticks) LOUD and soft 

and listened to and identified LOUD and soft music.  

5 Little Snowmen Fat

Space Adventurers

We had some fun last week being space adventurers.  We hunted aliens:



Went for a space ride



and pretended we were shooting stars

Groundhog Day

We celebrated Groundhog Day by:

Learning a new song:
Mr. Groundhog



Playing a Groundhog Hiding Game




Pretending we were groundhogs digging to "Orpheus of the Underworld"
(this video came out much darker than it was when we filmed, but I wanted you to have the idea of our game:  digging, and popping up and down trying to avoid the sunshine.




 And doing some pretty crazy shadow dancing:

One Little Snowflake

Snow Fun

How nice it was for it to snow on the day we were planning to sing about snowflakes and snowmen!

Chubby little snowman


Once there was a snowman, tall tall tall
in the sun he melted, msall, small, small....

Freeze and Melt


Snowflake dancing

Anything's a Drum!

This week we read Max Found Two Sticks and talked about how we can turn ANYTHING into a drum, and ANYTHING can be drumsticks.  

This is us playing our "drums"

Then we brought in a "real drum" and did a little pounding.  I'll have to remember my ear plugs next time!

Yahoo!  Blogger will now allow me to upload the better-quality videos on YouTube instead of the microscopic videos of the past.

I will be uploading the videos into YouTube in "private" mode (you can only access them from this blog), and you should be able to enjoy better-quality videos from now on.

Here's one I did a few years ago since we're in a cowboy kind of mood...  [you can find others on my YouTube chanel "missmsmusic".

TEXAS!

We've been singing all about Texas this week.

We learned "Deep in the Heart of Texas"

Pretended we were cowboys and cowgirls

Tumbled like tumbleweeds

And had lots of Texas fun.  YEE-HA!

The Wheels on the Bus

Welcome to preschool!

You'll find lots of fun games, videos and songs to keep you going all year long!

Happy Singing!
