Spider Ball Mania

After two Snow Days... I feel like I was playing catch up with all of my classes! But I will say that my absolute favorite lesson this week was with Kindergarten - 2nd. We started by tossing around my "Spider Ball" (a medium-sized ball of yarn I threw together about 3 years ago...works for almost everything!). I would sing a student's name on so-mi pitches and they would sing back.

Musical Mimi: "Hello, Student."
Student: "Hello, Teacher."

I had each one echo back "Hello, Teacher" to me so I could grab a quick vocal assessment, but you know they thought the whole idea was to catch and throw the Spider Ball back to the teacher! They thought it was hysterical!

But our favorite song for this holiday seasons is the "Valentine Boogie!" We had us a pretty great time, and we're gonna boogie through the next week to get back on track! :)
