The youngest are best engaged with a story about familiar environments and situations...
The older children need more of a story; good triumphing evil at the conclusion...
Our Eastern Pennsylvania finally saw some snow this past week, so I created a story revolving around weather...
Enjoy our very first video capture of our "slowly the snow comes floating down" story!
As you can see, this was simple...we used pieces of white wool roving to create the slowly falling snow.
*We originally attempted to record the story as it was told to the children during our storytime. Well, that didn't quite work out and it's most likely for the best. (It would have been difficult to hear over the sound of a crying 29 month old, among other usual background noises!)
I'm sorry if the sound is too soft; it was nap time when I taped this:) I'm also a bit stuffy and hoarse from fighting the cold which has been circulating here, so excuse my voice:)
Slowly the snow comes floating down
Over the rooftops in the town
Down through the night without a sound
Turning and whirling to the ground
Gray comes the daylight dawning clear
Clouds all are gone, the sun is here
Oh, what a lovely morning blue
Shines on a world made white and new

The week is over and I am now off to a weekend of Eurythmy!
I'll be attending a weekend public intensive course in New York on all different kinds of Eurythmy, including therapeutic and tone Eurythmy.
It will be a total of 12 hours in the car by myself this weekend as I am not ready to take an overnight trip away from my family. I'm seeing the travel time as a way to digest all of the material I'll be exposed to this weekend:)
Stay tuned for photos!
