As you can see, Day 2 was filled with Creative Play, Instrument Play, Movement, and music music music!
We pretended to clean the castle by dusting, washing clothes, washing dishes, and more.
We decorated our "cleaning wands" using stickers and ribbon. I look forward to hearing the stories of how those wands are being used at home to help with cleaning around the house.
We practiced our Steady Beat using bells, egg shakers, hand movements, full body movement, and locomotor movement.
Speaking of Steady Beat, did you know??
One of the first musical skills to develop is the ability to keep a steady beat. Of course the ability to keep a steady beat is essential for future musical experiences, but it is also important in everyday life. Think of all we do that requires regularly paced repeated motion (a sense of steady beat!) – walking, running, riding a bicycle, cutting with scissors, bouncing a ball, playing sports, and more. Music relies on steady beat more than nearly any other activity, making it a perfect skill-builder.
We explored Bilibos (the bowls you'll see our friends sitting in) and Puppets during our music lesson and during center time. It was delightful to see all the different things the children came up with.
Tomorrow is our Teddy Bear - Princess Tea Party. The children are invited to bring a favorite bear for the tea party. See you then!
