Is there anything cuter than these two squishy, little harmonica playing pirates? Music week brought plenty of sweet moments like this as we sang lots of songs, shook our share of maracas, and even had a trumpet parade.
The kiddos made there own instruments each day. The photos here are from the shaker that they made with two plastic cups and some colored rice.
Here these two are again... heart melters.
The rain continued and so did our favorite part of the day... group reading time.
On Friday, a little, local HIgh School parade went by our front gate. The kids were so excited; especially since we were learning about music. So we picked up our instrument of the day and had a parade of our own.
Everyone was also really excited about the new play kitchen.
As usaual, we kept plenty of time for silliness and new rotation games.
We painted the main wall in the common room with chalkboard paint. It is so much more efficient and earth friendly than cutting up construction paper every week to decorate for the weekly theme. And on Fridays we erase everything and let the kids go crazy with the chalk.
Working on gross motor skills here. The boys loved this game! We have quiet a few flat balls in our collection, so we hung them up and let the little ones take aim and try to whack them with a not-yet-flat ball.
Another group worked on fine motor skills by stacking cups up in to pyramids.
Music was such a fun theme! We can't wait to incorporate some of what we learned into our curriculum each week and build on the children's love for music.
