This is our last week Miss Carrie is singing the Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy song as we come to large group.
Miss Carrie sang this last year when school first closed for the pandemic.
This week, we sang and danced to some songs and moved our whole body. The first is the Silly Dance Contest by Jim Gill. In the song we would dance and then freeze. Don't move! It was so fun to freeze in filly poses. We could dance fast and then slow. We jumped. We ended up on the ground, laying down.
Jim Gill has a great introduction about the importance of parents being involved in play with their child. Then it goes into the Silly Dance Contest.
Next, we sat on the floor. Miss Carrie played Jim Gill's Hands Are For Clapping song. We showed our teachers all the different ways we could think of to clap, tap, snap, and brush. Our teachers tried to copy our actions.
Last, we stood up and danced to Wave Your Hands Up High from Preschool Action Songs. Again, teachers would try to copy our movements. It was so much fun to dance and move. We were laughing and trying to do what our friends were doing.
DO THIS AT HOME: When was the last time you had a dance party? It's time. Put on some kid friendly music and follow your child's lead. Narrate everything your child does. Use an announcer voice or a silly voice. EX: You are jumping! I want to jump, too!
Look what we did this week:
