The Kindergarten students have been working really hard on learning their songs for the Ocean of Fun concert in May!
We have learned so many interesting facts about animals that live in the sea! The kids are always amazed by some of them especially finding out that jellyfish do not have brains. As one student stated, "So they aren't smart right?" Those comments make my job so much fun!
The Carnival of Animals is a musical suite of fourteen movements. One of the movements the composer Camille Saint-Seans wrote is called Aquarium. It is a beautiful piece you can listen to it here
The students were split up into two groups. One - the bubble blowers and the other second group- the fish puppets. Students were asked to blow bubbles to make it feel like we were down in the ocean while the puppet fish people were swimming around the classroom to the music. Then of course we had to switch roles or it would not be fair at all!

I know this doesn't relate to kindergarten but I had to tell you this. Pete (Mrs. P.-1) came home a couple days ago and sang that African song he learned to me. It was beautiful! I can tell he loves it :-). Thank you for doing such a great job!
