Bequest Report

Hello parents and Happy New Year!!

It’s January and music class is continuing to rock and roll! I will be separating music time to accommodate the needs of our amazing babies. I will be adapting our time with Ms. Amani to help our smaller and younger babies. I will also be working with Ms. Sarah H. to better assist our growing and more mobile babies in the orange room. I think this will be more individualized music time and better serve our sweet babes. Both classrooms are learning a new finger play called Climb the Ladder. We will also be enjoying a new classical piece called Yosi’s Rocking Song. We will utilize scarves during this new song and I can’t wait! We have so much new planned for our new year.

Our blue and red classrooms will be learning two new songs! We will be learning an Italian folk song called ‘Ninna Nanna’. The children will also be learning one of my favorites,

‘The Mulberry Bush’. Do you remember that song as a child?

‘Here we go ‘round the Mulberry Bush

The Mulberry Bush

The Mulberry Bush

So early in the morning.’

The tune of that song can easily be used to have a musical interaction with your child. Try using this as ‘this is the way we use our hands’. How about ‘this is the way we put on our jammies’.

Be creative! I hope this encourages you to find a musical moment with your child this month.

Until next time!
