May’s musical flowers are short, sweet and filled with online fun and learning. In the Lakeland area, Ms. Debbie will be offering the NEW Kindermusik@Home units. These 4 lessons will be offered May 7 – 30 – Just ONE MONTH of Kindermusik – a nice short introduction to these new programs. See the schedule below for specific class times. To request enrollment, complete the Registration for Kindermusik@Home – May 2013.
Our Spring Session core curriculum programs for babies and older children continue into May, see details on my website.
Kindermusik International’s Creative Team has taken the best of their decades of music and whole child development programs, and have searched out the best in new educational methods both in-class and with the new digital options for learning materials. These have been combined into new 4 week units, available throughout the year, so families can enjoy new themes for perfectly integrated class activities, music, and learning materials both on and off line. Find out more about Kindermusik@Home and watch the video introduction in my article: Welcome to Kindermusik@Home !
The Wiggle & Grow curriculum and digital materials are design for children 18 months to 3 1/2 years old. See Kindermusik’s overview of Wiggle and Grow on their newly designed website. Much like the Our Time program, each weekly class is 45 minutes full of fun structured activities for children and parents (or other adult partner) to enjoy TOGETHER.
Class Times: Wed. 10:30 & 11:30 am., Thurs. 9:30 and 10:30 am. I am considering a Tuesday morning or early afternoon class, so let me know if you are interested.
Cost: $60 for 4 lessons and access to this unit’s Digital Home Materials
In May, we will enjoy expanding on our animal theme with the unit “Pet Parade”, focused on animals we often keep as pets, such as a dog, cat, fish, pony, and bird. There are enough similar songs from Fiddle Dee Dee to keep it feeling familiar for families continuing this semester, without feeling too much repetition. AND, the new songs, activities, and digital materials will be a wonderful expansion on our animal themes. One of my favorite songs in this unit is “Parrot Talk” – which you and your child will come to love as a great way to interact and connect in such a loving way. If parents would like to purchase an instrument and/or book along with this unit, these are available for purchase online. The set with the book, “Animals On Parade” and a child-safe tambourine is $12.95 (free shipping).
The Laugh & Learn curriculum and digital materials are design for children 3 – 5 years old. See Kindermusik’s overview of Laugh and Learn for preschoolers. Much like the Imagine That! program, each weekly class is 45 minutes, with the children participating independently with their peers for the first 30 minutes, then parents and siblings join us for the last part of class to be a part of the child’s musical life, understanding the concepts and learning creative new ways to expand on these concepts at home during the week.
Class times: Tues. 3 pm. Wed. 12:30 pm., Thurs. 11:30 am.
Cost: $60 for 4 lessons and access to this unit’s Digital Home Materials
In May, we will enjoy expanding on our city theme with the unit “OnThe Go”, focused on the many different ways we get around, from using our feet to all the fun vehicles we travel in or on. There is only one song from the Cities! unit, and a few from the Our Time “Away We Go” unit to keep it feeling familiar.
AND, the new songs, activities, and digital materials will be a wonderful expansion on our tranportation theme. Some of my favorite songs in this unit incorporate a lot of pretend play with a familiar child’s outdoor toy – their wagon.
And the children will love COUNTING in the video “Wheels, Wheels, Wheels”. If parents would like to purchas
e an instrument and/or book along with this unit, these are available for purchase online. The set with the book, “The Big Race” and a wooden train whistle is $9.95 (free shipping).
The major difference with both programs is the green-friendly access, through the new Kindermusik Parent Portal, My.Kindermusik.com, to all the materials online; music to download, eBooks to read, video field trips to watch, online games to play, and hands-on materials to download and print. There are no physical Kindermusik materials that are given in class, but there are child safe, quality instruments and printed books that parents can order directly from my.kindermusik.com. AND, if you do not have a way to download music, nor a way to burn it to a CD at this time, I can make sure these are available to you at this time – I just need to know if you need one.
We are on a new adventure: We are On The Go! enhanced by our new pets – our digital devices! I love adventures, and I love lots of friends to join me as we explore new “worlds”.
Honestly, I can’t wait to have you check these new materials out and see what you think.
