ABC Music and Me!

I've been teaching the ABC Music and Me program at the Asheville Arts Center South location on Thursdays this fall. During October we've been saying this cute little poem:

Frog kiss, frog kiss.
Such a special thing.
When you kiss a frog
The frog begins to sing.
Ribbit, ribbit, ....................

This past Thursday was their day to celebrate Halloween together as a class and they all came to the ABC music time dressed up!!! I grabbed the story blanket and made a long skirt, draped a green humongous scarf over my hair and donned a spare witch hat. Here we go!

Witch kiss, witch kiss.
Such a special thing!
When you kiss a witch
The witch begins to sing
Cackle, cackle, cackle!!!!

There was Maddie, dressed as Thomas the Tank Engine:
Train engine, train engine.
Such a special thing.
When you kiss a train
The train begins to sing:
Choooooochooooo Chug, chug...(Maddie did not miss a beat; he and Samantha jumped right in with the train sounds.)

Aiden was a Builder; "Bang, bang, bang....."
Samantha was a '50s Sock Hopper, "dance, dance, dance...."
Nora was a ballerina, "Twirl, twirl, twirl..."
Camilla was super girl, "Fly, fly, fly....."
Ben was a dinosaur, "RRRROOOOAAAAR!"
We did them all.
But Dorothy, I mean Sophia, with her ruby slippers, took me away.

Dorthy kiss, Dorthy kiss.
Such a special thing.
When you kiss a Dorothy
The Dorothy begins to sing.

Sophia, in the blue gingham dress and perfect Dorothy hair, took a deep breath.
Her eyes began to sparkle and she began to sing:
"Somewhere, over the rainbow.............."

It was a beautiful moment. I have a feeling we were in OZ.......just for that moment.
But I'll have that memory forever.
Thanks Sophia.
