It has been a few weeks since I've updated. Last week, my daughter had strep so we missed a few days of school. We have started working on patriotic songs to prepare for our annual Veterans Day performance.
We have been using the "work first, then play" habit in music. We practice our patriotic songs, then we have some Halloween fun.
Here are some of the fun Halloween activities we have done:
1. There's a Spider on the Floor (we loved playing with the spiders)
2. Songs: Skin and Bones, Pumpkin Bones
3. We read the book "The Little Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything" and added instruments to the book to make the sound affects.
4. PK and K learned 5 Little Pumpkins.
We also had 2 instruments added to our music alphabet wall. We added the Flute and the Gong this week.
We also added several words to our word wall. We got to walk to the high school this week for a theatre performance. We talked about the words audience, applause, and characters. We really enjoyed the performance and the students were an awesome audience!
It has been a crazy but fun few weeks for sure. Stay tuned for more updates!
Love reading your posts! My son, Christian, is in kindergarten and absolutely loves music class! I've been looking all over trying to find the Pumpkin Bones song because he wants me to play it! Thanks for all you do with them!
