We have a Lego theme this year and are creating the whole curriculum from scratch.  I&#8217;m a music person and have enjoyed being silly with my kids.  The first two songs they asked for today (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=drMLFuofRpQ\">the Hippo Song<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_FEpPjhVtdc\">the Penguin Song<\/a>) are the two most likely to cause me vertigo.

We&#8217;ve had taco bags (I know them as &#8220;walking tacos&#8221;), build-your-own salads (there were kids actually eating their vegetables!), jello lego bricks, and build-your-own trail mix.  I&#8217;ve heard about kids asking their parents to make them the food that she&#8217;s putting together for VBS and I think that&#8217;s definitely a good sign.<\/p>\n<p><center><strong>Five<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>My music team.<\/strong>  I&#8217;m working with three other people on music (I&#8217;m not the lead person) and it has been absolutely wonderful to get to collaborate with all of them.  All of them are creative people, which is good considering that we&#8217;ve had to improvise on a lot this week as two of us (the two who are doing most of the teaching) have less of our normal voices than we&#8217;d like.
