Books & Music
Join us at any of the above dates/times to create sound effects and a musical background for a story about scary bedtime sounds. While we read The Squeaky Door (a retelling of a Puerto Rican folk song), you can play percussion instruments, sing, snore, tiptoe, squeak, and pretend to be an animal. In honor of the season, we will also dance the “Monster Mash!”

We hope that you join us in bringing awareness to the vital role that afterschool programs play in supporting the growth and development of students, families, and the community.

Books & Music
In November, KO instructors will offer interactive musical activities inspired by the award-winning book We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom. Come explore the importance of water in our world by combining story, rhythm, melody, and dance. Children will learn about the water cycle, sing the “Canoe Song”, improvise with vocals and drums, and master the four movements used in Global Water Dances.
