Can't Stop the Beat!

Because of construction, it looked for a moment like we might not have anywhere to have music at Ernestine this week, but Samantha found us a great room with lots of space once we moved out the coffee table. We’ve had classes in lots of different rooms around the shelter at this point, which is actually unexpectedly helpful, because being able to sing familiar songs in a new setting keeps everything focused. It’s nice to learn which songs and subjects really resonate with the kids (one of whom perks up so much whenever any kind of vehicle is mentioned). Others connect to rhythm, and even some of the littlest ones are repeating certain words back to me. There are so many ways for the kids to connect with the music, and they all do!
