Morning Singing
We use picture cards to represent each song. Children take turns choosing their favorite songs to sing during music. It is important to give our children a chance to make their own choices to help build their self-esteem and self worth.
Morning Name Song
In October the children work on name identification by finding their name on a pumpkin and placing it on our "pumpkin patch" board. The board and Pumpkin Patch Name Song can be viewed below.
