MONDAY : YOGA 

EKA provides yoga in the classroom every Monday morning. The children practice breathing techniques and stretching their bodies into different positions. We do many different poses that relate to our cultural discussions such as different animals (e.g. arctic animals in the winter), holiday themed yoga, and nature yoga.

TUESDAY : MUSIC​

Here are some things we will do in each class:

- Sing songs of many kinds, including traditional tunes, songs that teach counting, songs about geography, hand and finger play songs, and songs with movement.

- Learn to play many different rhythms on rhythm sticks!

- Find out about all the instruments of the orchestra  and what they look like, how they sound, what they can do, what family they are in!

- Hear and learn about the music of great composers like Bach and Mozart.

- We will listen to (and have some dramatic fun) with terrific children’s pieces like peter and the Wolf and Carnival of the Animals.

​

WEDNESDAY : ART

The children loved color mixing and understanding all the different shades of blue which we used to paint our icebergs! Of course, no iceberg would be complete without our adorable penguins. It was fun to demonstrate how different kinds of shapes can create simple animals.

We also had a blast using watercolor paint and salt to “paint” beautiful patterns on our Wolf Blood moon project.

This spring, we will bring color and life back into our creations as the days get warmer and longer. It is a joy to explore the world of color and art with your children!
