Melinda played and sang along to her accordian today! She played many songs on her instrument and when she got to “Airplane”, we pulled out the car seats, set up a cockpit and acted out the lyrics as we learned the song.

 

Afterwards, Melinda explained the parts of the accordian and how it produces sound. Each friend was able to play a few notes.

We got out the WF accordian and friends continued making music.

Simon brought several airplane books to school today. We read A Little Golden Book called My First Plane Ride. Kai, who returned today from vacation, was able to share with us stories of his first plane ride last week! We discussed new vocabulary such as “hangar”, “cockpit”, “baggage” and “escalator”. We moved to the art table and, with our new plane collection, dipped wheels into paint and applied it to yellow construction paper.

Friends in hopscotch created a platform to jump off. They stood on the top block, counted as many numbers as they knew and jumped!

Other happy moments!

For lunch we served ham sandwiches on whole wheat bread, fresh peaches and string beans.

Have a great day!
