Happy Tuesday!
It was a mathematical day in music class today as we sang counting favorites such as "Five Little Ducks", "Hickory Dickory Dock", and "Five Green and Speckled Frogs". For children toddler and under, we used felt board pieces and puppets for counting songs.
Children two years of age and up are coming home today with a Five Green and Speckled Frog baggie kit for singing! It contains what you see above. Please ask your child to demonstrate how to sing the song for you and use the cheerio pieces to illustrate addition and subtraction, the way we did in music class today!
We also enjoyed using the rainbow streamers today to exercise our large muscles a bit with the windmill song! I had children perform the rotational movements of circle, up and down with their rainbow streamer using both their dominant and non-dominant arm/hand.
This is the way that the windmill goes round (moving arm in circle)
High, then low
High, then low (up and down)
Brushing the air and the sky and the ground (moving arm in circle)
High, then low
High, then low (up and down)
