I find that I’m enjoying hand drumming, a child has been drumming during the week and he asks me to drum with him, I find that I don’t know many songs or their names. The last time I held a drum was 15 or so years so, but now I’m finding an interest in them again. I’m just not sure if I should commit to it. Traditionally, it’s not from my culture. I’m trying to get into traditional ways is something I want to learn and teach to the younger generation, we need to bring it back.

Back to the topic, it felt like the day was going by fast. It was more of a free time day, the children went to play on their own or together, I had fun watching a child and educator play with paper; snowflakes. Educator and child were making snowflakes, and educator ask the child for shapes to draw on the snowflake for the child to cut out; he listed heart, oval, heart, book, door. It also gave them a chance to work on their motor skills.

While the children took their naps, this have me a chance to think about program planning I could do with the children next week. I looked around their storage areas for their art supplies to see what is available, I think I have some ideas, but now I need to get the items together before I do them with the children.
