Draw the Circle Wide

We tried a movement exercise where I would start by tapping two parts of the body, say back and belly, and then the next person would switch one, such as keeping the belly tap and have the other hand tap the head, and on around the circle.

You Gotta Sing When the Spirit Says Sing

My Favorite Things

Yoga: star mountain; house moon; waterfall elephant. These go in pairs in a breathing pattern: we breathe in for star then out for mountain, and after doing that a few times, we breathe in for house and out for moon, then breathe in for waterfall (arms up) and out for elephant (lowering it’s trunk).

On Top of Spaghetti

Mouse Story, cont’d. In this listening and “name that tune” exercise, we identify whether scales are going up or down, and chords representing “sad” (minor) and “happy” (major).

We started learning sign language for Quiet, Voice, Spider, and Shoes and Toadstool/Mushroom.

I Can See Clearly Now

Big Juice Box (Alfredo) – Alfredo had an avocado, and he also taught us: ABC Karen’s Version (this is the British version of the ABC’s that Karen learned as a child)
