Music & Movement

It was so nice to get together to make some instruments and sing some songs. Thanks to everyone who braved the cold today! Our theme for this month is planes, trains and automobiles. We had fun learning some new songs......

Down by the station

Down by the station,

Early in the morning,

See the little puffer bellies,

All in a row.

See the station master,

Turn the little handle,

Puff, puff, toot, toot,

Off we go!

Drive, Drive, Drive(Tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Drive, drive, drive your car,

All around the town.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Up the hills and down.

Turn, turn, turn the key,

Make the engine roar. VROOOOM!

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Let’s go to the store.

Press, press, press the pedal,

Give the engine gas.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Now we’re going fast.

Turn, turn, turn the wheel,

That is how we steer.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,         

Make a turn right here.  

Today we also made a hand drum and a dragon mask.

Both our instruments and our masks were inspired by the Chinese New Year which falls on January 31, 2014. This year begins the year of the horse. After a little bit of practice, we learned how much fun our instruments were to play!

Thank you so much to the Book Outlet for hosting us today.
