As a side note, Trevor has been enjoying dancing around the house this week while I have music on.  While I am all for free form, I was thinking that it might be nice to somehow work in some purposeful movements in there =)  I suppose I could choreograph something myself (watch out!), but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations that they have used with their preschoolers for dance/movement (DVD's, books that have songs with corresponding actions, etc.)  Or has anyone participated in a preschool orientated class for that sort of thing?  I'd love to hear about it!

Happy Learning!
