ABC Music & Me for 2-4 year olds with adult

Spring Units will be:

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 materials:  Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story Rain Song)


On the Go
This month put a new spin on trains and cars. In class we’ll talk about things on the go. And with a real-sounding train whistle, sound effects, and music CD in your home materials, you can take the learning on the go as you talk about moving fast and slow, while developing your toddler’s rhythm and coordination and strengthening your child’s connection to what’s happening in class.

Home materials:  Train whistle instrument, Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story The Big Race)


Home Sweet Home
Your child learns best in the comfortable surroundings and everyday activities of home. So we’ll use this nurturing theme to turn our classroom into a pretend house. In your home materials read together the story about the different kinds of houses animals make—from spider webs to bird’s nests. When you find these homes in your very own backyard, you reinforce the learning that’s happening in class.
 
Home materials: Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story A House is a House for Me)


Down on the Ground
This month in class we’ll take a Listening Walk, and read about a girl who takes a silent walk with her father listening for sounds along the way. When you play the music CD, share the activities, and take a listening walk of your own at home, you’ll help your child learn to love to observe and learn from the world around her.

Home materials: Home CD, Family Guide (includes the class story The Listening Walk)
