Morning Music with Spencer

Elliot has been honoring our school by sharing his family's love of music with us. On Thursday mornings Elliot's dad, Spencer, has been coming to Steppers with his guitar and singing songs with our friends. As soon as Elliot and his dad arrive friends start rushing into the Resting Room because they are so excited to sing and dance together!   

Some of our favorite songs to sing are:
If You're Happy And You Know It
Hokie Pokie
The More We Get Together
The Alphabet Song
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Old McDonald Had A Farm
Down By The Bay

Spencer has also been sharing his knowledge about guitars with us, like what different parts of the guitar are called and how to play it. Some friends have even started playing instruments right along with him!

Please enjoy some of the pictures we have taken from our special musically filled mornings with Elliot and his dad. And always feel free to join in - the more the merrier! 

We would also like to thank Elliot, Julia, Spencer, and Jessica for sharing their passion for music with us! I know all of us teachers look forward to our musical mornings just as much as our kiddos do!
