"DING" for SPRING!
We enjoyed using deskbells and triangles this week in music class while learning all about spring, what changes the season brings, resting and playing on the beat, counting, the major scale, and also using our best listening ears!
In the book When Will it Be Spring? by Catherine Walters, an impatient little bear cub can't wait for his hibernation to be over! He keeps waking up before spring has arrived, and asking his mama bear about what to look for. Each time we heard the word "spring" in the book, that was our cue to play our bells and triangles!
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD
