This week Miss Carrie brought her scarves. There were lots of different colors. If we didn't get the color we wanted, we could ask our friends to trade. Then we danced and moved with our scarves. Our teachers had to watch us and copy what we did. We ha so much fun showing what we could do. Scarves waved high and low. We threw scarves in the air and caught them. Then we threw them at our friends.We jumped, stepped, swayed, and swung our arms. We sat on the floor to see what other ways we could move with just our upper bodies. Miss Carrie played fast music and slow music.
DO THIS AT HOME: Pull out scarves or not. But do put on some music an dance! Follow your child's lead. "What are you doing? Oh, look, I see that you are stomping your feet. I wonder if I can do that? Stomp!Stomp!Stomp!" "You are shaking your arms fast! I can shake them fast, too!" Use your best sports broadcaster voice and give a play-by-play. Have your child tell you what they are doing and let them correct you if you do it wrong. Or, use single word narration to talk about what your child is doing to hep them label: "Stomp! Swing! Arms! Legs! Head! Shake! Fast!"
