Sprouting Melodies Weekly
Notes from Kristina

 
Make It Your Own                                                                   April 28, 2015

Good Morning,

  

This week I wanted to highlight one of our own Sprouting Melodies families from Laura's Friday class. I was so excited to learn that one of our families made my fire truck lap ride song their own by changing the words to apply to their child's interests. 

 

In class we encourage you as the adults to sing along so that you can learn the songs and sing them at home. The music goes home with you and continues even after class has ended. Don't forget that you too can create music and lyrics to meet your child's needs or interests in the moment. Whether it be piggy backing a song you learned in class by using the same tune and changing the lyrics or making up a new song all together. Let the music be your sidekick in helping with transitions such as bedtime or getting in the car seat.  

 

Check out the video below to learn the tune to the Fire Truck Song and the lyrics to the new Rocket Ship Song!

 

I'll see you in class!

Fire Truck
 
"Let's Ride The Big Red Fire
truck"
       "Let's ride the big red fire truck 
         Fire truck, fire truck
         Let's ride the big red fire truck
         All around the town.
         
         It goes....(siren sound/horn beep sound)
 
         Turn the fire truck around
         Truck around, truck around
         Turn the fire truck around
         There's a fire in the town."
 
       
 



Alternate Version: Rocket Ship
 
By Paige and Julian

"Let's ride the silver rocket ship
Rocket ship, rocket ship 
Let's ride the silver rocket ship 
Into outer space.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... 
Blast off!

We're flying* in a rocket ship
Rocket ship, rocket ship 
We're flying in a rocket ship 
Into outer space**"


*Sometimes we'll change flying to zooming 
**To visit planet Mars
