Fall 2008

Jingle Jeff, the children and parents all had fun singing Halloween favorites this year. We enjoyed "Pumpkin, Pumpkin," "Come Out Pumpkin," and "Peek-A-Boo" under the magic Halloween cloth! Here are some of the children and their Moms enjoying the music classes. The temple blocks seemed to be a big hit for the children as they learned to make the sound of a horse "clip-clopping" down the street in the fun rhyme: "Rickety-Rockety-Riding-Horse."
