Each week, Mrs. Mastio, our reading teacher, comes in to work with our Kindergartners on a variety of early literacy skills. One of the very first skills we are work on is developing our listening skills. Mrs. Mastio taught us a song called "5 Star Listener" that can be sung to the tune of Frere Jacques. This helps us get our bodies ready to listen and learn.
Today, she read us the story "Doing the Animal Bop". Kindergartners needed to use their "listening ears" to find out how each of the animals in the story dances.
We then sang the "Doing the Animal Bop" song and danced just like the
animals did. Ask your child what his/her favorite animal dance was!
