This was my final week with the Arise group before another teacher takes over for my maternity leave, and it was a fun last class to go out on! We played with rhythm sticks, making letters and animal shapes with them and tapping to different rhythms, pretended to be in a kitchen party in the song All Around the Kitchen, and had a fun jam session to the classic Don’t Worry, Be Happy. For the parachute I played Jackson Five’s ABC, and the kids had a blast as always. Some older children in the shelter came to assist with the parachute at this time as well.
