Clap for Classics!

63. Flashlights, bird feeders, skittles and cornflakes! A sneak peek into the Winter Four Seasons Curriculum


Listen Later

Today we’re sharing a sneak-peek inside our Four Seasons Curriculum. Check out all the details and snag the year-long course at www.clapforclassics.com/fourseasons

Music

We start with one of our favorite songs from the winter course: Down with Darkness.

We have fun using flashlights and a drum while we learn this song.

Down with darkness, up with light

Up with sunshine, down with night

Each of us is one small light

But together we shine bright

Go away darkest blackest night

Go away -- give way to light

Art

For the winter course, Ms. Krisanne, our wonderful art teacher, introduces us to the artist Peter Bruegel and his wintry paintings.

STEM

The winter course is all about color! Dr. Rojas put together 4 stem labs that encourage curiosity, observation, and teach lots of scientific concepts in age-appropriate ways.

Poetry

Ms. Leslie and Ruby bring seasonal poetry to life. We share Charlotte’s favorite on the episode:

DECEMBER LEAVES by Kaye Starbird

The fallen leaves are cornflakes

That fill the lawn’s wide dish,

And night and noon

The wind’s a spoon

That stirs them with a swish.

The sky’s a silver sifter,

A-sifting white and slow,

That gently shakes

On crisp brown flakes

The sugar known as snow.
