Kindermusik Village™ Wednesdays [2071] - Class Reopened!
| HICKORY, DICKORY, TICKLE, AND BOUNCE -- Research shows the more you expose your baby to nursery rhymes and songs, the stronger those emerging language-learning skills will be. That's why these Mother Goose-like stories and rhymes are the main theme of this class. Plus, you'll develop research-proven communication strategies with your child through listening activities, speaking "parentese," and sign language. Home Materials: CD of beautifully arranged nursery rhyme and songs from class, a rhyming picture board book-Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, and Bounce, a set of Art Banners, and an instrument for music-making at home. THE RHYTHM OF MY DAY -- This class will help you bring more rhythm and routine to your baby's day, as well as help develop lasting learning skills. We'll show you how and tell you why music can help your little one soothe into the day’s schedule and help build a strong body and mind network for learning. You can bring home those same stress-free play and relaxation techniques from class, and incorporate them into your daily routines. Home Materials: CD of beautifully arranged songs from class, The Rhythm of My Day-a colorful picture board book with class themes, a set of Art Banners, and an instrument for music-making at home. |
