Do Re Mi -- music week at preschool!

This week Ms. Molly planned some great activities centered around music. The children learned the Do Re Mi music scale, heard sing-song stories, sorted musical notes, played instruments and much more! It was a great week with lots of hands-on learning activities. 

Jingle bells in rice

Graphing musical notes 

Painting at the easel to a variety of music.

Painting a picture together.

These glasses all have different sounds.


Jingling the bells!

There is something therapeutic and relaxing with easel painting.
Children really focus and most paint for a long time.  

Layer after layer.
It starts out one color and then when other colors are added, it changes. 
Such a cool process. 

Do you see the notes he drew?
The circle is a whole note
the "b" is the half note
and the 1/8 note is just to the left of his head (with the "tail")
There was musical free style going on during choice time. 
                                             
They made "guitars or banjos" during art on Friday.
And instruments during other play too.

Have a musically fun weekend!
