We had a new friend join our group today. Because he wasn’t familiar with all the songs, he wasn’t participating in actions at first, and seemed a bit shy. However, going a bit slower and making sure we were all doing things as a group seemed to help, and by mid-class he was the first one to do things like count fingers and body parts. The parents are seeming a bit less shy as well, especially with the songs that they recognize more. I’m sure that will only increase with familiarity over the coming weeks.
