Everyone loves a parade! March to the music as we enjoy woodwind instruments, including instruments from Central America and Japan. Then, we'll spoon up some Noodles from Scratch in our Jazz Kitchen unit, where we'll learn to scat sing, read simple musical rhythms, and dance to jazzy beats! Parents who would like to volunteer in the classroom are encouraged to contact the instructor, and all parents are welcome to participate in the last 15 minutes of each class.
