Toddlers love to GO. Going is their gift, their license to venture out into the world and their means of retreating to the security of Dad or Mom. With toddlers' desire to go comes an attraction to other things that go - people, animals, pull toys, tricycles, cars, planes, and the list goes on. In Away We Go! we are happy to share with Our Time families a unit that focuses on things that go, leading you in an exploration into the world of transportation. "What are things that go?" "How do they go?" "How do they sound when they go?" "Can I go like that?" "Can I make sounds like that?" Guided by these simple questions we'll journey through developmentally appropriate activities relating to trains, cars, buses, horses, wagons, airplanes and boats. At Home Materials include:

Imagine a Kindermusik city, where ordinary sounds and sights on the street make a musical ensemble. People shuffle their feet to a 4/4 beat. Street musicians serenade and sing. Clock towers boom, bellow and ring.
It’s a city of music and imagination and the theme of Cities! Busy Places ~ Friendly Faces. In this unit we will co-create a city that’s familiar, yet like no other. Children will transform the classroom, build a city out of handcrafted “buildings” and walk down sidewalks made of masking tape and freezer paper. While we build this city of imagination, we will explore a mini-city of skills that are developing so rapidly in our minds and bodies. The games, music and pretend play were written specifically to expand this age group’s learning in the following areas:
There’s a city of music—based in songs, recorded works and city sounds. There’s a city of the imagination—of three- and four-year-olds being whoever they imagine themselves to be today (a broom man? an opera singer?). There’s a city of stories—of lost dogs and found dogs and of a globe-trotting photographer. Your child will enjoy rolling all these cities up into one musical, grand adventure.

Young Child students explore many facets of music – speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing instruments, and learning about reading and writing music. Creative movement or dances are interspersed with quiet activities like drawing or focused listening. The curriculum introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument, and string and woodwind instruments like the dulcimer and recorder. The capstone of Kindermusik, Young Child is the perfect pressure-free preparation for formal instruction in piano, violin or voice. Semester 1 of Kindermusik for the Young Child opens the world to new and different ways of learning about music. The focus and content includes beat versus no beat, percussion instruments, brass instruments, melodic direction, exploring the staff, and notation. Semester 1 also introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument. Themes include "Music is Everywhere", "Meet the Mallets", and "Discovering Melody and Mozart." (15 classes) |
