Little Beans Cafe and the East Bank Club parent-child music classes are in full swing. This week we are singing about friends and families. I like to take this opportunity to celebrate the differences in our families. Some children have brothers and sister, some have tons of cousins, some children have step-parents, some have pets. Each child has many people who love them and each family looks different.
Who is in Your Family?
(Tune: Bumping up and Down in my Little Red Wagon)
A mommy is a person in a family.
A mommy is a person in a family.
A mommy is a person in a family.
Who is in your family?
I change the song slightly for pets. They aren’t people, but they are still important.
A pet is a member of a family.
A pet is a member of a family.
A pet is a member of a family.

Here is a link to Raffi's version of Bumping Up and Down in my Little Red Wagon. Hopefully, you can pick up the tune... and enjoy some awesomely 80's children!
My daycare classes have been talking about winter, cold-weather animals and opposites. Here is a fun song to work on the concept of opposites with your children.
Opposites
(Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know it)
The opposite of big is small.
The opposite of big is small.
Opposites are fun.
Let’s do another one.
The opposite of big is small.
What opposites can your child come up with at home?
Happy Singing!
