Last week's orientation/open house

New Music!

Just ordered some new music for the students from Amazon!  Can't wait to share it with them!

I ordered "Bean Bag Boogie" from The Learning Station.  All of the songs use bean bags to dance and complete the motions.  I have two songs we already do using the bean bag and now have a couple more!  :)

I also ordered two Sandra Boynton CDs I didn't have.  "Frog Trouble" has country music and "Blue Moo" has 50's/early 60's music.

First week playlist

This week we have been listening to music after lunch during centers.  The students enjoyed working and playing while listening to some great music!  Music plays such an important roll in learning!  Some of the little girls were wearing the princess dresses from the Dramatic Play area  and dancing to the music.  Some were even singing along to......

Yep!  I have the "Frozen" Soundtrack!  :)  There was a nice little chorus of  "Let It Go" being sung throughout the room.



We also listened to "Dog Train".

Sandra Boynton is a children's book author and also produces music for children.  This is one of several CD's for children she has and they also come with books.  The songs are silly, fun, and serious.  Music artists across genres sing songs on the CDs.   The Bacon Brothers, Spin Doctors, Allison Krauss, Hootie and The Blowfish, Meryl Streep, and Blues Traveler.  

Here's a sample of the songs on "Dog Train".

Also, here's the link to her website.
