Toy I make! Trips I take! New 2012 Imagine that! classes for 3-4yrs

In Toys I Make, Trips I Take, Preschoolers and their families meet a Toy Maker who introduces the children into the wonderful world of the Toy Shop.  Meet the exciting ‘Jack-in-the-box’, a whirly swirly ‘Spinning Top’ and a ‘Big Red Ball’ when he tells a wonderful creative story called ‘ The Toy Maker Story’.

 

• Listen to Sea sounds while discussing a trip in the Big Blue boat; to a Hebrew song called ‘Hine Rakevet (Here Comes the Train) while listening to how the train accelerates through the countryside; to different drum sounds and have the opportunity to expand their musical understanding and listening skills.

 

• Read together two beautifully presented books;

“Tippity Tippity Too”: a wonderfully ‘silly’ language book allowing the children to create funny repetitious rhymes

“If I Had A Big Blue Boat”:  A book that features an emphasis on sounds and sights found out on the sea.  Some of the sounds invite movement and making sounds and motions.

Toys I Make, Trips I Take brings more good reasons for Kindermusik families to turn off the television, turn on the music and welcome the train, boat, spinning top, jack-in-the-box into their day together!

AWAY WE GO- Toddler classes starting Feb 2012

Toddlers love to go!   Their desire to go comes with the attraction to other things that go – people, animals, pull toys, tricycles, cards, planes and the list goes on.  In Away We Go! we are happy to give you a wonderful unit that focus is on things that go, which leads into the exploration of the world of transportation.

• What are things that go?
• How do they sound when they go?
• Can I go like that?
• Can I make sounds like that?

These simple questions will help us journey through activities relating to trains, cars, buses, horses, wagons, aeroplanes and boats.

Transportation naturally relates to music and movement in your toddler’s life.  The three main lesson focuses demonstrate this”

• Tempo – how fast or slow we can move….
• Level – up and down movements and sounds….
• Articulation – smooth and bumpy movements and sounds
• Stop and Go – including steady beat, forward and backwards, under and over, around and through, up and down, in and out, on and off etc….

Away We Go! includes some familiar chants and songs such as Wheels on the Bus, I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad.  Some are less familiar, such as Silver Moon Boat of China, Hey Tswana of Botswana.

Away We Go! brings more good reasons for Kindermusik families to turn off the television, turn on the music and welcome the wind, snow, sun and rain into their day together!

All children are Artists

Cities! Busy places-Friendly places offers the perfect opportunity to encourage you child in her artistic pursuits!  Preschoolers draw, paint, sculpt with clay and play dough, dance to mucis, sing, create sidewalk art with chalk, act dramatically and construct buildings from boxes for the pure joy of it.  And not only is art fun, but it benefits your child, too.

WHAT IS AESTHETICS?

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that focuses on the creation and appreciation of beauty or art.  The aesthetic experience nurtures imagination and creativity, offering you child the tools to appreciate the expressive arts-music, art, drama, dance and writing.

Some of the benefits associated with the expressive arts include:

-Fosters sensory perception.  Through visual art, music, dance and drama, your child strengthens visual, aural and kinesthetic qualities that will serve lifelong learning.

-Enhances you child’s ability to interpret symbols.

-Offers you child a chance to experiment, create and build; strengthening his ability to think, choose and decide for himself.

-Expands the world for your child, promoting intuitive understanding.

_”Re-placing the arts in Education, ” by W. Geoghegan, p.456-458. Phi Delta Kappan, Vol.75, No 6.1994.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Parents are the most influential teachers in a child’s life.  Introduce the arts to your children as young as possible and continue to offer the experiences throughout their childhood.

-Remember to use your family activity book.  Activities featured there integrate art into the curriculum through drawing (Activity 13), sculpting (6), building (12) and photographing (7)

Expose your child to the expressive arts by taking him to a ballet, a children’s theater productin or an art show.

Let you child’s imagination guide your activities.

Encourage your child to try all different types of artistic experiences.

Enjoy making your sculpture this week and please remember to bring them to your next class!
