On the Lighter Side

Posted on January 2, 2021 by Jennie

Music and dancing at its best. This Boston based robotics team has nailed it! My favorite rock and roll song with the coolest moves ever. Do I share this song with my preschoolers?
Absolutely! Been doing that for years.
Do they love it? Oh, yes!
Do we dance together? You bet we do!
Now I can show them even more – with technology.

Thank you for posting this, Kim.

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

    I saw this earlier in the week, and have watched the progression of the robot. It’s amazing, isn’t it?

    I bet the kids were fascinated and had fun dancing along with them.

    That’s gorgeous, Jennie. I loved seeing the man in a mask watching from upstairs. It certainly puts the year on the video. 🙂

    Loved that, Jennie – raised a smile on a cold winter’s evening. Well, a huge grin, actually. A very Happy New Year to you!

    Fantastic. I identify with the jerky movements of the robot! Where did my smooth moves go?
