Hi Kindergarten!
Check out the pink and yellow columns to the right.  This week, we are going to play BINGO together!  I also have a family movie night posted.  Have fun.  I miss you, and I hope to see you all in FIRST GRADE!
Oh, by the way... Did you see the Mosaic movie??? It's all done!

# data[].attributes.body
Check out the progress! Almost done!

# data[].attributes.body
Ask Mom or Dad to print this game board so you can play Bingo along with Mrs. Swislocki. If you don't have a printer, that is okay. You can still play along by pointing to the screen in the next video.

We've spent some time with the man in the moon, now let's visit the stars.  You can learn to play a star song on my website below.  Hey, this SAME song was in Mr. Saint-Saens' Fossil piece from Carnival of the Animals.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Use the colored stars to help you play "Twinkle" on the xylophone. Do you remember hearing "Twinkle" in the Fossil song in Carnival of the Animals?

Look! The two APPLE sections are the SAME, but the BANANA part is DIFFERENT.

Everyone wants Mortimer to be quiet and go to sleep, but Mortimer wants to be LOUD! Can you draw a picture of something loud and something quiet?

# data[].attributes.body
Grab scarves, bandannas, and neck-ties and dance!  How can you show loud/quiet with your BODY? This is always a favorite movement song at Eastview (but Mrs. Eckert next door doesn't enjoy it as much as me!).

One animal is fast, and one is slow. I wonder who will win the race?

Here are the turtle pages from our Carnival of the Animals book, sadly sitting on the windowsill in Eastview's Music Room. Check out page 2- While listening to the Tortoise's song, draw a path from the turtle to his food. Remember to draw very slowly, because he doesn't get his food until the song is over! (You could very easily draw your own p. 2 if your printer has run out of ink.)

Mr. Saint-Saens even wrote a song about dinosaur bones!

Before there were computers, Chromebooks, and tablets, people used TYPEWRITERS. It's true! Listen to how NOISY a typewrite is. Ask Mom or Dad if they every used a typewriter when they were little. When Mrs. Swislocki was a little girl, her mom made her take a typewriter class. The cows in our next story use a typewriter.

Grab some popcorn and enjoy a family movie night!  This is the most BEAUTIFUL version of Peter and the Wolf I have EVER seen in my entire life...it almost makes me cry!  Does your child recognize any of the instruments in the story? If there are any big brothers or sisters (2nd grade or older), they should be able to teach your family LOTS about these instruments.

Here is a more traditional telling of the story. I know the movie above leaves a lot to your imagination.
