Going along with our POND theme, we have been reading FROGGY books by Jonathan London. Today's book was FROGGY PLAYS IN THE BAND.
Heck, he doesn't just play in the band, he puts it together, and drills his pals for an upcoming marching band competition. At first they sound terrible, but they keep practicing and do pretty well the day of the contest, except for a mishap or two. Does Froggy do something embarrassing and turn red in the face? You betcha. But he also shows us the value of sticking with something difficult and surprising yourself at how much you can accomplish, if you just stick with it. An okay book to help reinforce an interest in music and the performing arts.---ReadThatAgain.com
Naturally we had to create a band of our own. We borrowed a huge box full of wonderful instruments (Thanks, Mrs. G.),each child selected a favorite, and the marching band took off around the room. When our beautiful song was over and our "parade" ended a very excited voice could be heard, "Wow! This was funtastic!"
I am fairly certain that is a seal of approval in the world of Pre-K.
