And my favorite dance for the year:

• Oh What a Beautiful Morning / Flight of the Bumble Bee / Imma Be / Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows : Had two really small classes, so I combined them and the 4 & 5 year olds were flowers and danced to Oh What a Beautiful Morning.  Then the 6 & 7 year olds came in to Flight of the Bumblebee and then danced to the chorus of “Imma Bee”. Then they all danced together to Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows.
