I play loud sounds on my drum!

Brady plays LOUD sounds on the snare drum. BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
There's a pattern here...and that's related to math.

We explore the snares. You can make quiet sounds by touching the snares.

Pulling down the "ears" of the big marching drum. This drum is a revolutionary war replica. I used to have a fife and drum corps when I lived in Maryland...way back when....



LOUD SOUNDS BOOM!
Quiet sounds tap.

Scultptures! 1,2,3, CLICK!!!!















Here I am with one of my favorite statues! I am adding myself into the statue!
















Here's Dylan's statue of a horse. It is made of pinecones, pine needles for a mane and very carefully cut sticks for legs. Two of the legs are off the floor like the horse is prancing. The horse in our "Cities" poster has one leg off the ground. Here is Dylan posing next to his statue.









This is Will's statue of snakes and a lovely butterfly.














Here's Will posing as a sssssnake!!!
















Now here the guys are posing as cool modern art statues.
































Camilla, We'll get yours on today!

These fun games we play encourage creativity and also the important school readiness skill of "inhibitory control" which is education jargon for being able to follow directions to stop on cue (maturing their ability to control their body!) But all that aside, we're having fun and that's tops!
