January Library Day

Sorry, no pictures for this one.  Our photographer was home with sick kids and no one else remembered a camera.

We started with an inspiring lesson from Rachel on music and dancing.  She showed the kids a clip from the old Classic, Singing in the Rain.  It was the "Make Em Laugh" number and the kids loved it.

After our opening (prayer, song, pledge) we read The Hello, Goodbye Window by Norton Juster and Chris Raschka and had a fun discussion while we read.  Some of the kids shared things with us that they were excited about.  Especially interesting were Sam's home grown crystals.  Wish we had a picture of them to put here (hint, hint, Andrea;).

Next was stations.  We colored valentine's that we will be delivering to the rest home we visited at Christmas Time.  We also played a memory game.

At the end, Rachel talked to the kids about music and had Andrea show and play her violin.  Rachel talked with them about how the violin sounds and then told them to listen and see if they could hear the violins in a piece of music she shared with them.    Finally, she got them all dancing "Make em Laugh" style.  They had the best time and it was hilarious to watch.
