It rained this morning, and it may snow in the coming weeks, so we chanted about clouds in triple meter. The Bumblebee is a favorite, so we sang the multimetric bumblebee song, too. There were other activities as well, some connected to the materials in this picture.

[ID: The following on a cement step: a blue and grey rolling cart; a black ukulele case that says "Ohana Ukuleles" on it; a blue water bottle with a black cap and handle that has stickers on it: an OU Alumni sticker and a Tower Records sticker; a yellow and black bumble bee hand puppet; a book that says "The Tailor and the Mouse" with a picture of a mouse on it; a book that says "Tanka Tanka Skunk" on it with a picture of an elephant holding a drum and mallet and a skunk holding a drum and mallet. Behind these materials are glass doors.]

Um, pools close in Montana in less than 5 minutes, @msnbc.com. Another indicator that the #MountainTime zone is the forgotten time zone.

We have new signage on campus, so I thought it was appropriate to stage a picture post-teaching-at-the-childcare with the new sign for McGill Hall where the ASUM Child Care is. Autumn is in full bloom in Missoula. Halloween is almost here. #MusicEducation #umontana
[ID: The following on a grey sign that says "McGill Hall" and "UM" in maroon lettering: a black ukulele case leaning against the sign. The case says "Ohana Ukuleles" on it. On top of the sign is a white ladle, a black and yellow bumble bee hand puppet, a green and white snail finger puppet, and a pink and white snail finger puppet. Also, a book that says "Let's Play in the Forest while the WOLF Is Not Around" & "Claudia Rueda." The book has a green cover and drawings of several animals on it. Also here is a book that says "Tanka Tanka Skunk," "Steve Webb" "to the Skunka Tanka beat!" on it with a cartoon elephant holding a bass drum and a mallet and a skunk holding a mallet standing on top of a drum. The book cover has an orange and black background. Leaning against this book is a tuning fork. Behind all of these items is a cement path, people walking, green grass, trees, and buildings in the distance.]
