We are Thankful!
Our Pre-K Music Makers
Our PreK class as been busy discussing what it meaning to be thankful. We have been singing and chanting songs and poems in preparation for Thanksgiving. Our songs include We Are Thankful, He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, The Turkey is a Funny Bird, and God Made the Earth, a rhythmic poem. See the video of our creation poem below!
The children have also begun working on their song for the Holy Child Christmas Pageant. Mark your calendars for Monday evening, December 17. Our Pre-K students will be singing the song, Journey to Bethlehem, as part of our Lower School Christmas Pageant.
Check out our No More Pie video below. (This might be a good song for you after your Thanksgiving dinner!)

Our Nursery Music Makers
We are having so much fun in our Music Together classes. The children are really getting to know the songs and are singing and moving right along with our teachers. In the past few weeks we have introduced a few new songs: This Little Light of Mine, Singing Everyday, and No More Pie.Check out our No More Pie video below.

Music Together at Home
Isn't it interesting that children learn to talk naturally by simply immersing them in language? You are your child's model for language and by providing an environment rich in language, you see them progress and become fluent. You are also a model for your child's musical development. If you immerse your child in music, they will naturally learn to sing and dance. It's not about the quality of performance but rather that you share a fun music making experience with your child, giving your child the opportunity to see you enjoying the music with them.
With that in mind, we are planning a Music Together Family Music Making Event. Last week I emailed you a brief survey in order to plan the event for a time that is convenient for most people. If you have not yet responded, I would appreciate your input on the survey. It will help in planning a fun and successful event. To those of you that have already responded, thank you for your feedback.
