Virtual Music and Movement

Our virtual Music and Movement programming is moving right along.  This program is pre-recorded and was developed for children aged three to five with an adult caregiver in mind.

Most of the songs used in the Music and Movement program come from an early literacy approach that I have been studying for close to ten years called Education Through Music (for more information see my Musical Monday posts).
The Plan
Hello Song: Hi, Hello, and How Are You?
​From Literary Hoots
To the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down


Hi, hello and how are you
How are you
How are you
Hi, hello and how are you
How are you today?
Drum Songs
Tap Your Drums Duo, Duo
Drum real soft, duo duo
Drum real soft, duo duo
Drum real soft, duo duo
Drum your drums today.

Drum real loud, duo duo
Drum real loud, duo duo
Drum real loud, duo duo
Drum your drums today.

Drum real fast, duo duo
Drum real fast, duo duo
Drum real fast, duo duo
Drum your drums today.

Drum real slow, duo duo
Drum real slow, duo duo
Drum real slow, duo duo
Drum your drums today.
Drum With Me All Together
Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Won’t you be my drummer?

Tap your sticks all together
Tap your sticks all together
Tap your sticks all together
Won’t you be my drummer?

Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Drum with me all together
Won’t you be my drummer?
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Come Good Rain
From Education Through Music
Goodbye: Thanks for Coming
From Literary Hoots; adapted by Nicole Lawton
To the tune of Oh My Darling Clementine


Thanks for singing, thanks for playing,
Thanks for coming here today!
Now that music class is over
Hope you have a lovely day!

Virtual October Book & Fun Club

Our Virtual Book and Fun club is our COVID-19 friendly version of our Book and Cookie book discussion group. 

Book and Fun Club is a monthly online only book discussion group for students in third through sixth grade.  We get together on Zoom to discuss the monthly book pick for one hour.

To keep the Book & Cookie tradition alive, we encourage everyone to bring treats to snack on while we chat on Zoom.
The Book: Love, Sugar, Magic: A Dash of Trouble by Anna Meriano
Picture
A Dash of Trouble is the first book in the Love, Sugar, Magic series.  

The main character, Leo, is the youngest of five sisters.  As a result, Leo wants to do everything her sisters can do. Leo wants to help her family with the Día de Los Muertos preparations at the family bakery. When her offers of assistance are repeatedly turned down, Leo decides to take matters into her own hands by spying on her family. Unbeknownst to Leo, she is about to uncover a BIG family secret!

This is a fabulous story about the bonds of sisterhood, what it means to be a good friend, the impact of secrets, and how curiosity can often lead to trouble.
The Plan:
Online Activity: Sugar Skulls on Google JamBoard
While the entire book does not solely focus on this celebration, the Logroño family is able to celebrate an important holiday in the open with the rest of their community.  Leo and her family use face paint to create sugar skulls for the celebration.  

This activity used Google's Jamboard, which is an interactive white board.  Each participant was given a slide with a blank skull to decorate.  These are the sugar skulls (below) that the participants created.

Virtual Family Storytime: Let's Try It

The theme for today's virtual Family Storytime is "Let's Try It."  This theme focuses on social and emotional skills.  Let's face it, even as adults, trying something new can be scary or daunting, or both!

This theme acknowledges that sometimes if we try something new that mistakes might happen or we might not be as successful as we had hoped and that it totally okay!

Stuffed animals, puppets, and singing - oh, my!​  This week's virtual Music and Movement uses several stuffed friends for extra snuggles and cuteness.
Hello Song: Hi, Hello, and How Are You?

Hi, hello and how are you

Oh, Johnny get your hair cut

Little Liza Jane.
Roll little Liza, Roll little Liza
Little Liza Jane.
Roll little Liza, little Liza Jane.
Roll little Liza, little Liza Jane.
Mary's Wearing
​From Education Through Music
Bluebird
​From Education Through Music

Bluebird, bluebird through my window
Oh, Johnny aren’t you tired?
Goodbye Song: Thanks for Coming
