This week we continued with rain-play fun. We sang and danced (with our rain hats!) and made even more designs with our colorful rainbow pieces. Be sure to cut out your own rainbow pieces (page 27 of Family Activity Book) for color play at home. Remember, it is not necessary for your child to put the rainbow together “correctly.” The goal is to explore in whatever manner suits your child.
This might be a good time to encourage renewed interest in the Hello Weather Play Set. Some play ideas might include: gear up the kittens for rainy day play; make your own mud puddle for kitten-jumping; place a clear plastic sheet protector with blue paint “raindrops” over the garden, then watch the sunflower grow from a seed to a bud to a flower! Remind you of someone special?
Activity
I can hear the rain and wind
Foundations of Learning:
Integrated Learning: It requires that the children: apply analytical listening, label sounds with music terminology, demonstrate a musical interpretation with sound (sticks) and with movement (scarves), sing the appropriate verses.
Try family activity #7- making and playing with a Where Box—This kind of “fill in the blank” singing allows children to develop their sense of inner hearing as related to pitch and melody. Singing a song in your mind is akin to thinking a story or making a plan without speaking out loud. It is a necessary life skill.
