K is for Kite

   Since the beginning of Preschool, we've been working our way through the alphabet. We practice letter recognition and sounds, and tracing and writing the letters. We've also been making crafts to go along with each letter. Recently, we studied letter K, and made kites.

   We traced the letters on the kites, and then decorated them. We added yarn for the tails and bows.

    After we finished making our kites, we lined up and walked out to the school yard to fly them. As you can see from the pictures, we had a lot of fun!

Music

      This is my second year teaching music at Sonlight, and I'm enjoying it immensely.  On Wednesdays I teach 2nd and 3rd grades during school, and I do an after-school class with 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. We've been learning about notes and rhythms, and how to read sheet music; we've listened to some famous pieces like "Für Elise" and "The Carnival of the Animals", and learned about their composers. These kids are so much fun to work with, and I love getting to share my love of music with them. Below are some pictures from the week we studied Beethoven.
