There was a lot of connection today between parents and kids, as well as older and younger siblings.  This is great, as it lets me work more rhythm and clapping songs into the mix, with the older ones leading the babies and toddlers in their actions.  Songs like “I wake up my hands with a clap clap clap” were enjoyed by all, and the older kids were very engaged in their lefts and rights during the Hokey Pokey.  I worked on hand positions for the recorder this week, and Henry played us some tunes, as he is already far ahead in his recorder learning.
