Happy Music Monday!

Music Monday is all about singing, dancing or making music together. Here are some ideas you can share with you families, or come up with your own!

• You can make a short musical playlist to share with families to listen to together at home.
• Record a song you sing together and share it with your families.
• If you play an instrument, you can play a song and invite families to make up the lyrics or a dance to match.
• Do you know how to make an instrument at home? Show them in a short craft video or send a link to a step-by-step tutorial.

If you share pictures with your students and families or if they share pictures with you, we encourage you to also share them with us (with the family's permission) or to post them yourself (with the family's permission) and tag @durhamprek and @naeyc and to hashtag #woyc20!
