I really love to dance by Laurie Berkner
Dance your fingers (from Storytime Katie)
Dance your fingers up,
Dance your fingers down,
Dance your fingers side to side,
Dance them round and round,
Dance them on your shoulders,
Dance them on your head,
Dance them on your tummy,
And put them right to bed!
Craft: We made dancing elephants.
Literacy tip of the week: Music and dance are a great way for your child to explore sounds and language. As the clap and stomp to a beat they are learning to recognize the sounds that make up words.
