"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:  No School on Monday!
We need some Old CD’s or Videos.  They can be scratched, broken.  We need two for every student so if you could ask around and see what you can find that would be great! The craft for this is next week.
This week in our 4-5 year old class we had two music therapy students visit our class room.  They are starting to help with our music time on Thursdays.  I am going to send you more information about each student via e-mail soon.  They are super excited to work with your children and it's a great opportunity to learn new skills and songs from them!

Home challenge:  The weekend is a great time to play games as a family.  Games teach so many valuable skills such as, learning to take turns, numbers, letters, colors, and more.  I challenge you to find time to play a game with your preschooler.  If you don’t have any games appropriate for this age you can buy some really nice games at Red Balloon Toy store.  You can also make a homemade game, get some ideas from this link:   http://www.pinterest.com/pamdyson/make-your-own-board-game/
