Get ready for the weekend by checking out new and exciting activities and books that are our favorites!

This week, Andrea checked out the Scholastic book fair at JJ Hill Montessori in St. Paul. It’s a great way to find affordable books that expand and challenge your child academically, while having fun! The newest addition to our singable book collection is “Pete the Cat.  I love my white shoes” by Eric Litwin. Kids can work on identifying colors and objects in addition to recall and sequencing.  Look for our Music & Movement Monday blog post to find out how we incorporate original song and dance to use this as a therapeutic music intervention.

Here’s a link to the author’s free downloadable version of the song: http://harpercollinschildrens.com/feature/petethecat/audio/pete-the-cat.mp3

Happy Friday!
