Group Meeting: Our camping and fishing continued today. During group meeting, we went over our rules a little bit. Sometimes new things can get so exciting that we forget them, but they are having a great time. Thanks to the parents who sent sleeping bags. They are being well used, but no sleeping!
Story: We revisited the story Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo. This time, we looked for the conductor in the story. Then, we talked about what the conductor's role is in the band or orchestra. The children listened to the music from the book to hear when it got faster/slower and louder/softer.
Small Group: I rolled a dice to determine a number and asked the children to build a cube tower with that number of cubes. Then I asked them to add some or take some away. Then we determined how many we had remaining. This is something that you can do at home with items that you have available.
Large Group: After hearing the story, we got out our kazoos to see if we could follow a conductor. I played the role of conductor and had the children follow my lead. We played loudly and softly, quickly and slowly.
Snacks: The morning class had apples, strawberries, and juice brought by Riley. The afternoon class had Rice Krispie treats and milk brought by Leigha. Thank you!
