Imagine That!: CITIES! BUSY PLACES~FRIENDLY FACES

Week 5:

We continued to work on our “We Are Fine Musicians” ensemble.

We also played several “stop and go” games. As you know, the concept of “stop and go” is an important one for your child to learn. The ability to control our movements is important in many situations, including walking in a big city and when we are among a large group of people. We walked, tiptoed, and galloped to drum cues listening carefully for the “ready stop” which indicated time for us to stop our movement. The introduction of a statue game reinforced the “stop and go” concept today. Children love to “pose” and were given ample opportunity to pose as imaginative statues.
