New Puppet Show This Week!

In Let's Play Music we love our puppet shows! They help us appreciate and listen intelligently to classical music. The children learn to distinguish the different sections, instruments, and themes while doing actions that tell a story.

We've had so much fun performing "Aragonnaise" from Carmen by Georges Bizet (aka "The Magical Lamp")!  We're now moving on to our "Waltz of the Flowers" puppet show which is a song from "The Nutcracker" by Pytor Tchaikovsky. The children received new puppets to color and create this week.  I can't wait to see how they turn out!
