"Almost all children respond to music. Music is an open-sesame, and if you can use it carefully and appropriately, you can reach into that child's potential for development." Dr. Clive Robbins

Announcements:  Thank you for all those that brought your stickers.  We are going to be using these all year round in our crafts and our reading chart.  
Homework Challenge:  This week we are working on our colors and shapes.  I have been working on an assessment which gives me a baseline to what our preschoolers know right now.  Most know there shapes and colors well.  So this week is fun because they are already familiar with it.  One shape that is difficult for preschoolers is the difference between squares and rectangles.  So I challenge you to help your student find some squares and rectangles in your house.  So they can see and feel the difference with you.
