“Hayride” by Stephanie Leavell, performed by AFC Music Therapists Miss Meghan Obermuller and Miss Samantha Monteleone.

 

Hello Families! Our Music Therapy team (Meghan, Samantha, Sabrina) want to welcome you into the fall with a fun and immersive video representation of a song we do in your child’s classrooms! Come along with us on a “Hayride,” song written by Stephanie Leavell. Be careful – it’s a bumpy ride! Plenty of opportunity to “bump” in our chairs to the music! While on our hayride, what do you see? Take a seat and join in on the fall fun!

 

Hello Families!
We are excited to share this fun resource to go along with our “All About Me” Unit! This song encourages children to explore the idea of “me” and learn more about themselves & their bodies. Through singing, movement, and gestures, children can practice communicating “me,” identifying different body parts, and exploring the five senses. We encourage you to sing, move, and join in with your child at home as they learn all about what makes them, them! We hope you enjoy singing and learning together! 🎶
