Nature

Learning About the Natural World

Children are curious about the natural world and will actively explore and observe plants and animals in the natural environment. Through this curiosity and exploration children learn about the anatomy, habitats and behaviors of the living things that they come into contact with.

They learn that plants and animals grow and change over time and that living things need food and water to live and grow.

Using Interactive Music and Movement to Deepen Children’s Experience Of The Natural World

Social/Emotional

Using interactive music and movement to foster social and emotional development in children

Social/Emotional development has a direct correlation to a child’s academic growth, self-esteem, personal relationships and school readiness.

In this module we use songs and activities about family and friends to give children opportunities to develop their social and emotional skills and traits.

Imagination

Teachers and children love to move and dance to these high energy, interactive songs, stories and rhythm games. Children will be riding on a train, crawling like a spider, echoing body movements and experiencing a children’s song from Africa.

Then it’s instrument time. Pass out the drums, shakers, scrapers, bells and triangles and let us hear the music! The children learn to read and play music notes with rhythm games using the included Rhythm Sound Cards and the instruments tell a story about a bird, frog and crocodile. Each of the 11 interactive songs, stories and rhythm games comes with a teacher training video and an interactive audio track.

Spanish

Music is a powerful tool for children’s learning. In this module we use music to learn Spanish. Children who already speak Spanish and are learning English will benefit as well.

The children will learn the names of body parts. They will move like animals in the jungle and learn the Spanish names of the animals. They will play instruments and learn their Spanish names. They will tell a story about a pájaro (bird), a rana (frog) and a cocodrilo (crocodile).

Students will make a long rhythm with the rhythm sound cards that stretches across the group space.

Dance Party

Hip Hop Jen is in the house with her high energy and interactive Kids Dance Party! In this module we use fun dance beats and catchy rhythms to get everyone up and DANCING!

Teachers and students alike will have a blast as they learn easy to follow along dance choreography to Hip Hop Jen’s high energy dance music. These songs combine catchy beats with interactive elements like imaginative movement and directed movement.

These dances are perfect for creating a dance party in the classroom and also great for recitals and performances.
