September Activities

During the month of September the children have been getting to know one another and we have enjoyed getting to know them.  In music we sang "The Wheels on the Bus" and did a variety of activities with it. 

Find your name and picture...

...get on the bus.....

...and drive to school!

We used rhythm sticks in a variety of ways.

"tap, tap, tap and STOP!!"

The children get to play instruments of their choice when they come into the classroom.

We also practised sharing and taking turns, first with markers, then with glue.  We made some beautiful colored glue puddles :)

We have also started some mindfulness and breathing activities.  This introductory breathing activity I called "beach ball breathing."  We practised deep breaths in through the nose, out through the mouth.  Filling our lungs would make the beach ball bounce up, and exhaling it would fall down as we hugged it to our chests.
