Did you all enjoy our camping trip today? I know I did. I wasn’t planning on camping in the the tropics but the children’s imaginations definitely took us out of Michigan. It certainly made for an exciting canoe trip! It was fun ‘building’ a fire with them as well.
Flea, Fly, Mosquito is such a cute song. Call-and-response songs such as this are great for preschoolers because they provide an opportunity to hear a short melodic or rhythmic phrase. Then without the help of an adult, they try to repeat it on their own. This activity is not only beneficial to them musically but for language development as well.
Remember, there isn’t class next week. I’ll see you all on July 31 for a very special makeup class.
