Grandma’s Feather Bed!
We got some energy out this week in music class while
listening to a classic favorite by John Denver—“Grandma’s Feather Bed!” The
kids learned that John Denver was a famous singer who played guitar and had
round glasses (check out the video below to see them making pretend glasses
with their fingers!). We also read the book “Grandma’s Feather Bed”, a book
adapted and illustrated by Christopher Canyon! The children enjoyed the colorful
illustrations, and they helped me with sound effects by “oinking” each time the
lyric “…and the piggy we stole from the shed” popped up, as well as helping to
repeat the phrase in unison: “Grandma’s Feather Bed!”.
We then had a blast by pretending to jump on the “bed”, or
stacked mats from the rec room, along with partner dancing. There were plenty
of giggles and lots of tired munchkins after our activity!
Don’t miss out on the cute video below and make sure to ask
your child about the extender questions. Have a wonderful week!
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD
2) Do you remember what John Denver wore on his face? Round glasses
3) Did you jump on the pretend feather bed? Can you show me how?
