CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:

Today’s challenge: Tissue Dance! It is more like a balancing act with music and less of a dance, but so much fun! Grab a tissue and place it on your head. When the music starts, try dancing and moving to the music without letting the tissue fall. If the tissue falls, try to catch it before it touches the ground and continue dancing!  

Challenge your family to dance along, and see who can be the last one to balance a tissue on their head while moving to the music!

 

PARENT RESOURCES:

Parents, do you have a hard time getting your child to complete their chores? This week we are focusing on music. Many teachers and specialist use rhythm and music to help children remember words, how to solve math problems, and to learn scientific formulas.

Music can also help kids remember when and how to do their chores.
