Singing Along in Mrs. Argus’ Class
- Regan and Messi lead friends in their rendition of Jingle Bells.
Our class absolutely loves music. Whether its singing, dancing, or just listening, they are so happy when they hear a tune! This morning as they were creating Mexican yarn paintings, Messi and Regan began singing various holiday songs and friends couldn’t resist joining in the fun.
Messi, Monica, and Jenesis sing two songs for us.We have begun something new during morning meeting as well. Each morning, after we have greeted one another and done a song or group activity, we share news. News can be something that has been brought in to share (preferably to do with reading, writing, math, or the outside world), an event that happened, or news that someone is looking forward to! Through this component in morning meeting, we are becoming better listeners, and learning the trait of empathy in learning how friends appropriately respond to different types of news. Today during morning meeting, we had several friends want to share songs. Some were self created, some were songs a lot of us knew. I greatly admire the courage our friends displayed in getting up in front of our class and singing. We talked about how brave these friends were and made sure to be good listeners and celebrate our performer's experience afterwards.Sascha and Journey sing together.
