Music videos and snow play

Today we learned about how no matter how old you are or how little you are, you can be anything!

The children loved watching and listening to Claire Ryann Cosby sing her songs on youtube.  

She started out singing at a very young age and has performed since she was just three years old!

The kiddos were amazed at how little she was and how well she sang.  Don't forget to ask them about her!

Snow Play!!

Welcome Tristan & Greta

And Avi!

Learning about Choirs!

Today we learned about what it means to be in a choir, and about the director. We watched a couple youtube videos to show the children what this is all about and they loved it!

Director Kate!

We watched and listened to the song I sing because I'm happy and talked about how music makes us happy!

Then we made our own music with colors that filled our hearts with happiness!

At the bottom of their "sheet music" I wrote what song today made them happy.

We are all loving this music study!

Happy Friday!!!

Music study continued

Yesterday and today we talked about Bob Marley again 

and watched his One Love song.

Bob Marley dance party!

After taking a Literacy training last night I came up with a few more ideas as to where I can put out paper and pencils for the children to write on throughout the day.

It went over very well!

Quinn and Kate were "writing down their ideas"

Drew was making a shopping list and Quinn was  making a list of birthday friends while Kate wrote about her feelings!

Lacing fun

Today we hooked up our new Roku box! 

We are now able to watch the youtube music videos on a larger screen with better sound quality than my laptop :)

(If anyone knows how to make it go to full screen, feel free to let me know!)

We talked about making sounds with our mouths and tongues.

The children were very interested in this!

We then watched a couple Pentatonix videos 

(Mary Did you Know was their favorite so far)

They were amazed and wanted to know HOW the "boys" made sounds like drums with their mouths.

It was super fun and quite exciting for us all!

Feel free to contact me with any videos that you know of that are good ones to show the kiddos!
