Endings and Beginnings

We wrapped up the 4 pm session this week with students performing their song of choice for the group. We had a mix of Snowman Joe, Do Re Mi, and Twinkle Twinkle. At the end of the class the students were excited to tell everyone about their long weekend plans, and we finished off with a fun informal chat. The 4:45 pm class was the start of a new session, and included a new student. This new student was very enthusiastic and eager to show us his newly acquired go-kart, his drawings, and also told us about his favourite musician, Michael Jackson! We learned Do Re Mi together, and came up with physical actions to help us remember the words. Having an extra ten minutes in this class really helped us dive deep into learning the lyrics and gave us a good amount of time to practice the song. The 40-minute model works well!
