MONDAY MUSIC
Mondays are music day and the children enjoyed a variety of musical instruments including drums, tamborines, shakers, mallets with clacking blocks, maracas, and more.
We also set up an arrangement of blocks angled in different ways to explore the many notes and sound possibilities that happened when we hit them.
What we listened to today:
Putumayo Presents Latin Playground
Lullabies of Latin America
Books we read:
I'll Always Love You by Paeony Lewis
Brian Wildsmith's ABC
Daddy's Lullaby by Tony Bradman
Baa Baa Black Sheep by Iza Trapani
One Grain of Sand a Lullaby by Pete Seeger
We worked with the soft shape sorters and talked about circles, triangles, and squares.
Hiding small stuffed animals around the living room, we played hide and seek asking "Where is the puppy?" and then it would come out and "say" its sound.
We rolled ping pong balls through paper towel tubes, arranged felt shapes onto a flannel board, crawled through "tunnels" made from big cardboard boxes, stacked paper cups on top of each other, and watched the effects of different colors in buckets of warm bubbly water with a variety of sponge shapes.
Do you have an idea for a special activity or seasonal celebration?
Your suggestions are always welcome here.
Lantern songs were practiced and new fall circle songs were introduced as well.
With warmth....
