Our 2 - 4 year old class themes for October through December 2010
October – Animals A-Dancing
Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. This month we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way. Your Home Kit features songs for wiggling and helps toddlers develop dexterity and fine-motor skills. Your magazine-style Family Guide also includes at-home activity ideas, games, and questions that involve the class story, so your child develops memory and comprehension—all in the context of sharing time with you.
Home Kit: Home CD and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Frog Went a-Dancing) plus instrument.
November – Around the Farm
In class, your child’s memory and sequence skills will strengthen with stop-and-go games tucked into stories and pretend play about animals on a farm. You’ll find these stories and songs in your Home Kit, too. So when you play this month’s featured rhythm stick instruments along with the recordings, you help your child develop rhythm, coordination, and the confidence that comes with learning and playing along with you.
Home Kit: Pair of Rhythm Sticks, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Cows in the Kitchen)
December – Outside My Window
You and your child will enjoy a range of imagination and listening skills in Outside My Window. This month’s unit has the learning focus: “I hear and I listen. I can be loud or quiet.” The take-home magazine-style Family Guide provides an activity idea using Track 7 on the Home CD which features different rain sounds. Listen at home and find empty cans, uncooked rice, cardboard boxes, or uncooked pasta to imitate those sounds. In a child’s visual world, this exercise helps bring focus to the attention required for listening.
Home Kit: Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Rain Song) plus instrument.
Our 4 - 6 year old class themes for October through December 2010
October – Join the Parade
You can watch this month’s theme in your own home town with the season’s upcoming holiday parades. In class, we’ll listen to marching music, play pretend parades, and help your preschooler develop rhythm and coordination skills. Marching to the beat of his own drum—in class and at home—helps your preschooler make a vital rhythm and body connection, one that’s necessary to help him master any number of movement activities such as writing, dribbling and shooting a basketball, dancing, and skipping.
Home Kit: Home CD and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Henry’s Parade)
November – All Keyed Up
A piano and the well-known composer, J.S. Bach, help your preschooler get ready for school this month. The answer is right at the tip of your fingers. The same fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination your preschooler needs to hold a pencil—are developed through the special keyboard-playing activities we’ll be playing in class.
Home Kit: Pair of castanets instrument, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Coppertop and the Four Keyboards)
December – Sing a Story
The Sing a Story unit of ABC Music & Me introduces children to the world of opera. They will meet the Queen of the Night, Papageno, and Papagena, just a few of the colorful characters from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute. At storytime, children will hear a tale of missing tail feathers and witness the hustle and bustle that happens backstage before an opera. They will listen to examples of solos and duets, practice pre-music-reading skills by singing simple two-note patterns, sing, and play a variety of musical instruments. Home Kit: Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Papageno’s Feathers)
