More Dragon Dance Pictures

And Now The Much Anticipated Dragon Dance...

This is our first dragon dance of the new year.

The dragon danced while the class sang a chant:

"We are the weavers, we are the web.
We are the flow and we are the ebb."

Everyone got a chance to be inside the dragon head and lead the dance.

We'll be dancing with the dragon many more times this week and bringing out our rhythm instruments for accompaniment.

This my first attempt at posting a video from our digital camera. We hope to improve our skills and post more video snippets of our day. Since I'm still new to this, any pointers or suggestions are very welcome.

Learning About The Primary Colors

Our color mixing activites are quite popular. In this activity the child mixes primary blue water with primary yellow water to make secondary green. Here a child can practice identifying and writing the names of the primary colors.

In this activity a child can combine primary blue playdough with primary yellow palydough to make secondary green playdough.
