Friday
Dip 'n' Dye
(Fold a paper towel and dip the corners into a variety of colors of food dye)
Beading bracelets
Juice can shakers
Bendy Stix
At the easels--chalk drawing on black paper.
And then the rain came.
I just love this. My kids thought they would rescue the dip 'n' dye from the edges of the canopies (they were getting wet, it's true) and hang them...under the bush. Clearly this wasn't a dryer place, but the line they rigged up looks cool.
Since my system of canopies just isn't quite big enough, we opted for the garage.
I was amazed at how much fun we could have in there!
We got out the instruments and practiced keeping the beat and repeating a variety of rhythms. We also played and sang "Old MacDonald had a Band."
We learned "Go in and out the Windows," a folk dance. We also did "London Bridge" and the kids learned "Floating Down the River." This song has a calm, quiet verse and a lively chorus all about jumping! It is probably my favorite folk dance because the kids can't get enough of all that jumping.
We're floating down the river...
Four in the middle and you can't jump, Josie....
Eight in the middle...
London Bridge
And that's a wrap!

We had a very fun week with your darling kids!
Thank you so much for being a part of our program. We hope to see you again soon!
