Counting and Bouncing!

I'm so impressed by how far the kids at Ernestine have come in their rhythmic participation. They were clapping along for the Hello song before it even began! We did a number of counting songs, and the kids were proud to show how quickly they could count. Then there was a sudden spike in energy and I rearranged the class to include every bouncing song I know (which were all very well received). By the end of the class, I think everyone (parents included) was ready for a well-earned nap.
