Camp Songs with Blake

I love music. Music is so powerful, and especially when it comes to preschool students. It has the power to move you, inspire you, and in this week's case, it had the power to bring everyone together. As you know, this week we are having our Camping unit, so I invited a very special camper to come to preschool and sing camp songs with us: Blake! We set up a "camp site" in the gym, sat in a circle around a pretend fire, and had a blast jammin' out. All the kids thought that Blake actually lived in the woods. They thought that he was a camper full-time and comes from the woods and took a trip into civilization specifically to sing for us. It was really cute. After he left, Kingston asked me what Blake was going to do if it rained that night.

Blake brought along his bin-o-instruments to share with the kids, and everyone was eager to be handed an instrument.


Here's Blake introducing his instruments:

 Julia was very excited to get her "jungle whistle"!









Blake lead the sing-a-long with some campfire classics. 

As you can see, the children were enthralled:


Here is Blake leading a group song in which each student got to perform their very own instrument solo. The kids just loved this.


And I'll end this post with a stream of photos of Kyler and how much he absolutely loved his drum:
