Coming This Fall!

I'm SO excited about the classes we have coming up this fall. I was thinking about some of my favorite activities from each class. Here they are:

Village (0-18 mos.) - Zoom Buggy is the name of this unit and it's all about going. I love giving the babies rides in the laundry basket as we sing "Riding in the Buggy" Another thing I really look forward to is when we all dance and sing to "Pretty Baby" and celebrate the beauty of each child.

Our Time (18 mos. - 3 yrs) - Milk & Cookies is all about doing things around the house. Everyone loves building a house with a hammer that goes "rap-rap-rap" and a saw that says "see-saw-see." And then we clean the house with our dustcloths and sponges, which the children love to do as we sing "In My House." Moms love it, too, because it makes cleaning fun!

Imagine That! (3-5 yrs) - Hello, Weather! Let's Play Together takes us through all the weather events with songs and stories. Near the end of the semester, I have the children lie down on the ground and I drop "snowflakes" (squares of toilet tissue) on them as we sing about snowflakes falling. Then we get up and have a "snowball" fight using the poem "Snowballs." We have lots of laughs!

Kindermusik for the Young Child (5-7 yrs) - This is Semester 1 in the two-year sequence of training young children in the fundamentals of music reading and performing. See my previous post for all the highlights.

There are so many other highlights that I haven't listed here, you just have to come to class and experience them all for yourself! I hope to see you soon!
