Folk Music Class Winter Performance at BAM

We just completed our Fall/Winter after-school class of Folk Music at BAM. Yun-Yun and I have had such a good time with our kids. We have seen such growth in these kids in the past few months. What a joy to see them gaining confidence in singing and now more and more willing to announce our songs for our videos. They all felt very good about their performance at the BAM Winter After-school event. We are trying something new this year with an intersession class. I will post the details if you are interested in signing up your kindergartner for this special class. I we are posting both the long and short version of our performance. Again we thank our helper Leo (2nd grader) for doing our video taping.

Leo playing Frosty the Snowman on Violin

Every Friday our friend Leo gets out of his class early to come and help teach our class. He is in 2nd grade and a very popular guy with all our students. He fixes and passes out our snack, directs videos, reads to us & in todays video, entertains us. As always, if you leave comments I will pass them on to the kids and enjoy!

Stepping It Up! Teacher, Teacher

A few years ago my k-class helped write this song to the tune of Louie, Louie. It has been a real hit with my classes ever since. Now my new K-class is working on some new choreography that we will share in our video today. Let us know what you think on the blog and I will share it with the class. Enjoy!
