Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! We'll delight in making it "snow" with tissues and cotton balls, and in "ice skating" on paper plates.

Get ready to spruce up the house in this home-themed unit. We'll turn tasks such as cooking, cleaning, sawing, painting, and hammering into fun, pretend-play activities that make us move more creatively and use our imaginations. At the same time, we'll explore the relationship between sounds and symbols, and build community as we sing and play together. Whether it's a great big house (or a den, nest, or burrow!), there's no place like Home Sweet Home!

We're all natural music makers! We hum while we play and work, sing along with music in the car, and tap our fingers and feet to the beat. In this carnival-themed unit, we'll become more comfortable with instruments and our ability to play them, and explore timbre, steady  beat, and ensemble experiences. We'll move, play, and sing, and through sounds, store is, songs, and games, we'll learn all about what carnivals have to offer: carousels, clowns, pretzels for sale, and so much more. So step right up - we're off to the
