This is the final week of our music theme! Ask your child what he/she has learned to practice the skill of recalling information. Take pictures if you haven't already, or document in another fun way!
Week 5
Day 1
- Sunbeam Lesson 5 (see Week 1 post) "Jesus Christ is the Son of Heavenly Father" (5 min)
- Song Cubes (5 min)
- Sing "Farm Sounds" (5 min)
tune: The Wheels on the Bus
The cow in the barn goes moo, moo, moo.
Moo, moo, moo.
Moo, moo, moo.
The cow in the barn goes moo, moo, moo.
All ‘round the farm.
Continue with:
The pig in the pen goes oink, oink, oink.
The hens in the coop go cluck, cluck, cluck.
The rooster on the fence goes cock-a-doodle-doo.
The ducks on the pond go quack, quack, quack.
The lambs on the hill go baa, baa, baa.
The bunnies in the hutch go (silently wiggle your
nose).
- Snack (5 min)
- Free Play (20 min)
Day 2
- STEAM Lesson (Math) "Count Your Chickens" (5-10 min)
This is it! The moment we've all been waiting for :D Sing the song, "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" but replace the word "Farm" with "Band". Go through each instrument you've made, or if you haven't made instruments, use invisible ones paired with your imagination for each verse ;) If you use pretend instruments, perhaps show a picture of each instrument beforehand.
Bring in a guest, if desired, who plays an instrument. My husband plays the ukulele so he will come in for a verse. Also, my father-in-law (who is a teacher) brought home a chime he had at school so we'll use that too! The more, the merrier!
- Snack (5 min)
- Free Play (20 min)
If you have any puzzles, free play would be a great time to do these together! Puzzles are sooo good for developing a math brain. If you don't have any puzzles, make some or consider investing in some wooden puzzles/buying cheaper ones at the dollar store.
