Musical Tuesday

Today in the Child Development and Learning Lab, we had two different musical guests. Our first guest was Ela's dad Tolga. He visited during morning center time and performed some songs in Turkish with the guitar. He also played the flute and had the children sing along to the ABC's and The Wheels On the Bus. When we opened all the rooms for center time, the children had the opportunity to go into the indoor movement room continue playing music with Tolga. Before he left, he lead a parade around the hallway with children marching behind. In the morning, we also expanded center time due to the cold weather. The children were able to spend some time outside but for a shorter amount of time. We also had an earlier rest time due to the Central Michigan's Women's Choir. The school gathered in the indoor movement room and listened while the choir sang some holiday songs. Before they left, the choir handed out shakers to the children and they were all able to sing Jingle Bells. At the end of the day, the children had the opportunity to dance with scarves in the indoor movement room, instead of going outside. Hope you enjoy your long weekend, see you all on Monday.

We would like to thank Tolga and the CMU's Women's Choir for coming and taking time to share their passion of music with us.
