Good Morning Mrs Hen

Hello, dear friends!

The world of music is a captivating realm that resonates deeply with the human brain. Extensive research has uncovered remarkable correlations between music-making and the intricate workings of our minds. Active music participation has been linked to a multitude of cognitive benefits, including enhanced language development, improved math skills, higher academic achievement, refined social behavior, and advanced spatial-temporal reasoning – a fundamental skill for effective problem solving.

In my experiences with preschoolers, I've discovered that there's hardly an activity I plan that doesn't involve a nursery rhyme or a song. It's a secret weapon that brings a delightful twist to any task. Music captures children's attention, encouraging them to ask questions, explore, and, most importantly, learn. Through the simple act of singing, they absorb valuable lessons such as vocabulary, sequence of events, and much more.

I'm certain that you're familiar with this short, endearing poem. Its simplicity and engaging finger-play make it a cherished choice among educators and parents alike.Today, we're going to dive into the delightful world of "2 Little Dicky Birds." Join us as we explore this charming rhyme, and discover how it can be a source of both enjoyment and education for the young ones.

Leap into the enchanting world of childhood education and entertainment with the classic nursery rhyme, "Five Little Speckled Frogs." This charming and rhythmic song has been a beloved companion to early learners for generations, offering much more than just entertainment. It's a magical tool that fosters cognitive, social, and emotional development in children. Join us as we explore the captivating world of "Five Little Speckled Frogs" and the multifaceted skills it nurtures in young minds.

I use this song both with younger and older children, first to develop the sense of rhyming and the ability of replacing the words in a song with other words/sounds/noises and, later on, i can bring up the letters and their importance of making words.

Kids adore singing games because they're so much fun, and they get to move around and laugh a lot. Singing games also have lots of repeating parts, making it easy for children to join in when they feel comfortable, all while learning valuable social and interaction skills.

In this song we will practice counting down from 4 to 0, while expressing sadness for each  melted snowman, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh poor them!

Greetings, dear readers!
