Jackson Nelson’s mom, Ms. Tera, visited our class during the overlap and helped the kids discover music through play! Here some of the fun things they did:

• They learned solfeggio words and hand signs for Mi-Re-Do. This cadence pattern was hidden in some of the songs she sang with them – Let’s Play Music, Three Blind Mice, Circle Left, and Let’s Say Goodbye.
• They learned to keep a steady beat. They made their feet match the beat of a tambourine. Also, they echoed fun beats with her puppet Echo Ed.
• They channelled their voices, placing the tone up in their head and forward with their noses, by singing along to a fun halloween song. (Have them sing the Oooo Halloween song ~ they might just have a scary suprise at the end!)
• They did some classical music listening too through a puppet show! Ms. Tera gave each one of your children their own page of puppets to color and perform for you.  They will be in Monday’s homework folders.  Here’s a link to the music – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCCLiuOQF88

Music is a lot fun, especially when you can learn all these great musical concepts through play!  Thank you, Ms. Tera, for sharing your music with us!  We look forward to having you be our guest again!
