Breath Play: Hot Air Balloon

Take quick, short breaths in through your nose. As you do, raise your arms above your head like blowing up a hot air balloon. When you breath out, close your eyes and think about where you traveled to and what you see when you land.

Book: Bloom, Bloom by April Pulley Sayre

Song: I Love the Mountains

We used the ASL signs for flower and I love you.

I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills
(form mountain above head then roll arms down)
I love the flowers, I love the daffodils
(sign flower and I love you)
I love the fireside when the lights are low
(make wiggly flames with your arms then reach down low)
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da
(clap your hands then pat your legs to the rhythm)
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da

Mystery Box:

Today we had a scarf and some paper objects in the mystery box.

And the wheels turn fast And the world goes past And the lights go flash And I step on the gas (vroom, vroom) I step on the gas (vroom, vroom) And the engine blasts (boom, boom) And the engine blasts (boom, boom)

[CHORUS]

And the wheels turn fast And the world goes past And the lights go flash And I step on the gas (vroom, vroom) I step on the gas (vroom, vroom) And the engine blasts (boom, boom) And the engine blasts (boom, boom)
