Today is the conclusion of the Fall 2020 Virtual Music and Movement series. This program is pre-recorded and was developed for children aged three to five with an adult caregiver in mind.

Most of the songs used in the Music and Movement program come from an early literacy approach that I have been studying for close to ten years called Education Through Music (for more information see my Musical Monday posts).

The Plan

Hello Song: Hi, Hello, and How are You?
From Literary Hoots
To the tune of London Bridge is Falling Down

Hi, hello and how are you
How are you
How are you
Hi, hello and how are you
How are you today?

All around the cobbler’s bench
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought ‘twas all in fun.

Pop! Goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
