Music Class was wonderful! As usual Mr. Jason brought along a friend, and a musical instrument

(in addition to the guitar). This makes Mondays merrier.

Today as you can see from the photos, our instrument of focus was the harmonica. It sounds good,

it looks interesting too, but Mr. Jason looks really tired when he’s done playing. He played some blues for us and then we played our own version of, “name that tune!”

The friend of the day was “Tiny” the Dinosaur who lives in an egg. Tiny reminded us of the rules of egg shaking.

Egg shakers are not for eating. We shouldn’t even put them in our mouths to taste. So we shook them to the tune of “I want candy!” But we sang “I want Tacos!” Cool right?

Thank you again Mr. Jason for making Mondays fun and Musical. Thanks Mom and Dad for signing us up.

See you next week!!!!

Hi Everyone!!

We hope everyone is having a fabulous day! This month the children learned about the different seasons and particularly about “The Fall”. We read books and discussed some of the changes that are evident during this time of the year. This morning, we read the book “Johnny Appleseed” and created some beautiful fall trees to go on our classroom board. FYI….Don’t forget it’s Picture Day tomorrow!! Get ready to say cheese!!

Thank you Mr Jason for helping us get into the week with lots of fun and laughter. Today he brought along Roscoe the Raccoon. Roscoe needed our assistance in dental hygiene. As you can see in the pictures he was speaking very close to Mr. Jason’s face. Mr. Jason was having a hard time breathing………..We love our time with Mr. Jason because we get to mmmoooove, around and imagine ourselves as different people, things, or animals. We get to be really loud or really soft. Like when we’re singing, (if only you could hear our voices). We also travel different places; camping, on a bear hunt or alligator hunt. We also packed our bags and went on an airplane ride. Mondays would not be the same without Music with Mr. Jason.

Hello Everyone!!

It’s fine motor Thursday!! This morning as we broke up into groups, the children focused on fine tuning their fine motor skills. Some worked on perforating, while others practiced cutting with scissors and tracing. The younger groups worked on tweezing and large tonging in Practical Life, as well as reviewing position word concepts found in the Language area.

Hello Everyone!

This morning during Circle time we discussed the concept of “in front – behind.” Not only did the children learn the vocabulary, but they worked on the concept concretely by placing objects in front and behind them. They then practiced positions with their peers, and followed simple and complex directions. Later we focused on “Walking in a line” and encouraged the children to tell us which friend was in front of them and who was behind them.
