Rainy Day Rainbow Songs

Though the weather was mucky this week, the kids were so excited for the return of RSF that they quite literally screamed at the top of their lungs when I arrived. What a wonderful welcome! The kids were extraordinarily jumpy and hyperactive this week, so there were lots of moving songs, including a great version of Elephants Marching, where all the kids held hands around the circle. Instead of a big jam session this week, I decided to pass one drum around the room, to start off the session with sharing the instruments. It went quite well, and I think it will set a good precedent for upcoming weeks. Unfortunately, no parents showed up this time, but I spoke with the shelter supervisor who said she would stress the importance of parental attendance for next week.
