We've had some musical guests this week and the children are loving it! So far we've enjoyed the saxophone, the flute, and the trumpet. Jen, one of our speech therapists, brought in her saxophone and the children were able to play notes on it as she blew through the reed. Karla brought in her flute and she had an extra flute that the children were able to try and blow through. That was a lot of fun as the children tried to get out at least a sound and several of them were able to and they all clapped for each other! Today, my daughter, Grace, came in and played her trumpet. The children played the three valves to try and get different sounds as Grace blew the air through the trumpet. She showed them a mute and they heard the different sound the trumpet makes with that attached.
We had an opportunity to play with different types of cooked noodles in the sensory table. The children liked playing with it as an addition to their pizza shop. We started out using our fingers and then we added pasta spoons and tongs to 'serve up' spaghetti dishes!
