The Levana children are fortunate to spend a full half hour with Nancy when she comes to visit. During our time together, Nancy engages the children in movement and music; today this included stretching and warming up, balancing, falling safely and getting up, rolling like a log, and moving in rhythm to a variety of music.
Nancy loves to get to know each child by name, and to tailor her class to the age and interests of the children. She connects our music and movement to the current seasons and holidays. Today Nancy introduced us to a wonderful book about autumn leaves. Leaf Jumpers, by Carole Gerber, follows a boy, a girl and their dog playing in the leaves as "they flutter through the air, drifting down gracefully." We used colorful scarves to create our own autumn scene, a wonderful, fluttering finale to our visit with Nancy.
Looks like fun! Thanks for sharing.
