IMAGINE THAT! Cities Week 5

FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING

This week we'll play several “stop and go” games. As you know, the concept of “stop and go” is an important one for your child to learn. The ability to control our movements is important in many situations, including walking in a big city and when we are among a large group of people. We will walk, tiptoe, and gallop to drum cues listening carefully for the “ready stop” which indicat time for us to stop our movement. You can play this game at home with your child by moving to the sounds of Home CD 1, track 10.

The introduction of a statue game reinforces the “stop and go” concept this week. Children love to “pose” and are given ample opportunity to pose as imaginative statues. We will sing Walk All Around (Home CD 1, track 22) and pose at the end of the song. This is another fun game you can play with your child at home, thus helping to solidify the learning taking place through Kindermusik!

I hope that you and your child are finding this class a meaningful and fun learning environment. If you have ideas or observations you would like to pass along to us, please feel free to send me an e-mail, give me a call, or chat with Sarah after class.
