We had our first day of class today!
There is still room in the Toddler (18 month to 3 year old) Family Music Class, and the Three to Four year old Cycle of Seasons class. If you are interested in enrolling please contact me at breckengarten{at}gmail{dot}com. See Schedule here.
For those of you who came today, I had a wonderful time and am so glad to be spending this precious time with you! I hope you enjoyed your class and are excited for the semester!
You may have noticed that we did a lot of pointing to body parts today. The reason we do "Johnny, Johnny" and songs with actions of pointing to noses and knees, etc., is for body awareness, and dexterity. We are providing labels for our children, and helping them discover their whole body. When we touch our nose, tap our knees, or show elbows try to use both hands, this will encourage the child to use both hands, and strengthen the non-dominate coordination, which in turn activates both sides of the brain.
