On Repeat

This was a nice, intimate, class at Arise, which allowed for lots of personal accommodations and requests from the little ones. One of my favourite thing about kids is that they never get tired of certain songs, which is why (by request) we sang Sleeping Bunnies four times in a row! Our staff person provided wonderful help in turning the lights on and off to add a bit more excitement to the song. For our instrument of the week, I showed the kids the jaw harp – I'm not the best player, but the kids were still enthralled by its wild, warbly, sound. For the jam, we sang Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and once again there were requests to repeat the song over and over. Then a different parent came in, just as we were finishing the jam, and said "Oh I love that song!", so we all sang it again. It was a fun and cozy class in between the two Christmas trees, and I could tell the kids were spent by the end.
