The Samuel Morey Preschool: It's Only Rock and Roll!

For a $12 investment I recently bought a dozen cool looking small guitars at the dollar store. When we took them out of the packages and showed them to the preschoolers, I knew that the money was well spent. We put some good old fashioned rock and roll music (the Stray Cats) on the CD player and then the rockin' preschoolers then showed us old timers how to really play the guitar!

After boogying down, up and all around for a while in the classroom, it was obvious that the preschool rock band had to take it's show on the road. First we headed down to the office (where Mrs. Amanda always appreciates the preschoolers' performances). Then, while we were parading back down the hallway, we ran into preschool graduate Lily (who can never pass up an opportunity to take center stage) so she had to join the band.

With the newest member of the band we headed outside and onto the stage of the outdoor classroom where "Lily and the Preschoolers" impressed an audience of 5th/6th graders so much that they performed the wave in appreciation. As a bonus, during the preschoolers' whirlwind guitar tour, we also had special celebrity appearances by Mrs. Tracy and Mr. M.

Finally it was time to head back to the preschool classroom. We still have a bin of cool guitars, however, so if anyone is in need of a rockin' and rollin' guitar band for their next special event, you now know where to find one!
