Imagine That 8th June

What a lovely class we had today. We visited the “post office” and the “cobbler’s shop.” We are moving through our pretend city visiting the many people who work there. Your new book, Down Our Street, continues this theme with a rhythmic rhyme that is lots of fun to say! Family Activity #12 invites you and your child to create another city building or shop. As you create, you might like to extend the rhythmic rhyme from Down Our Street to include your homemade building, whether it is a toy shop, a book store, or even a restaurant!

We also started to look at notated rhythm this week. Our Blue Jelly patterns may seem like a fun and silly game, but the children are all beginning to read crochet and quaver notes. If you can find some matchsticks or lolly sticks have a go at making your own blue jelly rhythms.

As we near the end of the semester, I’d be more than happy to hear from you about your child’s favourite activities, what you like the most about Kindermusik, or any concerns you might have about the class. Please feel free to drop me a line.
