Making our own didgeridoos (1-30)

Miss Arielle spent the day in the Shining Star room today!  We are all so excited she will  be in our room permanently started on Monday!
This morning to warm up our bodies Miss Lizzie made a new game up.  We all ran around the playground outside acting as if we were different animals. As we ran the perimeter of the playground each kiddo picked what animal they wanted to act like.  This game definitely got us all warmed up and ready to start another fabulous day.
During circle time we continued our discussion about Australia.  We focused on the people who live in the desert in Australia called the Aborigines. Miss Lizzie introduced a new musical instrument called the didgeridoo, and explained that the Aborigines play this musical instrument using circulatory breathing.  We all listened to the sound it makes and then gathered at the table to make our own didgeridoos!
As the kiddos were painting their  we looked at pictures of the Outback in Australia.  The class decided that our next field trip should be to Australia! :)
This afternoon unfortunately we did not have Spanish but we had another special visitor.  Miss Lizzie's best friend and roommate came to hangout with us this afternoon.  The Shining Star's absolutely loved meeting her and telling her all about the fun they have at Green Sprout!  Because Mrs. Leona was not here we took this time to go out on the deck to play our new musical instruments!  We gathered in a circle and blew into our didgeridoos making the sounds we heard earlier.  We had so much leaning about the Aborigines and acting as if we were in the Outback In Australia!
