So far we've learned two primary songs "Unserm Vater Danken Wir" for Thanksgiving and "Als Joseph auf die Reise Ging" for Christmas and we've done a couple of German lullabys as well. We do singing time right before bedtime, which works for us. But it doesn't usually last very long. I'm hoping that once our piano leg is fixed (please Derek?!?) we can do singing time before naptime. I kind of like them to have songs in their heads as they fall asleep. <br>One thing Abby loves is doing hand motions to songs. She can't "sing" like Joshua and I can but she can sing the words she knows and do the motions. And she remembers, so we have motions for things like "augen, ohren gab er mir, kleidung und auch essen" Vater, Mutter" "Bruder, Schwester." etc. We are going to do Christmas songs until after Christmas (you know, to put on a show for the g-parents) and then start doing some other traditional German songs and some more primary songs. Keep me updated on the singing time! I love it!Annahttp://mocklearning.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
