M is for Music!

Our second week back at co-op in January the young 5's class learned about the sound that the letter "M" makes. Miss Lisa was our teacher for this day, because she is a very accomplished musician! First, she read the children this book about the orchestra called Tubby the Tuba.


Then she demonstrated a variety of musical instruments:





Her daughter, normally in the writer's class, handled the violin demonstration.



And then the children got to make their own instrument, a tamborine!




We ate mangoes and m-n-m cookies for our snack.


Let's hear it for the letter "M"!

    Why not maracas?

    What a great lesson. And it is neat that one mom (& her daughter) could demonstrate so many instruments.
