Very special guests.....

Image
We were so lucky to have two cello players come to visit our classroom. They made their cellos sound like a cat, a mosquito and a pig running away from a dreaded bath. They also learned one of our circle songs so we could all sing while they played. The children were spellbound and thrilled when they were allowed to pluck the cellos strings.

A very musical week.........

This week we made "shakers" and talked about percussion instruments. We made them out of paper cups, coffee filters, rubber bands, and dried beans......

We made "kindness sticks". A child gets to take one home if a teacher witnesses them being kind to a friend.
