Singing In the Rain!

Our little Tarzan in class tonight reminded me of an important part of my childhood. This little 3 year old is a boy after my own heart: his primal sounds reminded me of my childhood fascination with the jungle and how I used to play in the rain! That's right, without thunder and lightening, I was allowed to play until my heart was content in the rain! I splashed around barefoot, danced, sang, and twirled about in the splendid wetness! I know with all of this rain lately, my students haven't been able to expend the energy they need to by playing outdoors. Why not let them play in the rain? This is a great sensory experience and is a wonderful science lesson on the properties of different kinds of weather!! Take an umbrella if you must, but I challenge you to recapture the spirit of your child within and allow yourself to have a fabulous time singing in the rain!

P.S. I guess it would help if you have a hot bath after. And a hot tub would be even better! Have fun!
