The Songs We Sang in Ms. Howard’s (Wed.), Ms. Anctil’s (Thurs.) and Mr. Mitchell’s (Friday) Classes
Posted on: December 10, 2011
Oh, what a joyous week this has been singing such fun songs to celebrate the upcoming holidays. My dad (aka “Grandpa” Mo) has been visiting. He’s wonderfully handy so every minute not singing is spent helping him help with projects in the house!
So, that leads me to this stack of books celebrating a combined THREE gatherings this week. In one, the other, or all of the classes we sang from this wonderful list of songs. I’ve been so impressed by the kids singing along. They enjoy themselves and respect each other…it’s the best of all possible worlds!
