Dear Our Time Parent:
According to a leading brain researcher, Arnold Scheibel, “Unfamiliar activities are the brain’s best friend.” We know that routine and familiarity are conducive to learning because they allow a child to relax and focus without stress. However, within limits, the unfamiliar is also important for developing new skills. “The brain pays closer attention to things that don’t fit an established pattern…. Anything new causes the body to release adrenaline, and adrenaline acts as a memory fixative.”*
Today’s class included both the familiar and the unfamiliar, providing the perfect balance for your child’s learning environment. Through familiar routines and in a familiar setting, we were able to explore the unfamiliar: a new instrument (sandblocks), a new movement song (Walking in the Green Grass), and a new fingerplay (Ten Fluffy Chicks).
The balance Kindermusik provides is optimal for learning. Can you believe learning could be such fun?
*Start Smart!: Building Brain Power in the Early Years, by Pam Schiller
Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning - some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:
New and Different: “The brain pays closer attention to things that don’t fit an established pattern, things that are new and different (novel). …Over time, the brain reacts to routine stimulus by lowering levels of stimulations. Anything new causes the body to release adrenaline, and adrenaline acts as a memory fixative. Accordig to Arnold Scheibel, Director of the Brain Research Institute at UCLA, “unfamiliar activites are the brain’s best friend.’”
Fingerplays: During the toddler years, children typically are quite active and have short attention spans. By incorporation fingerplays and rhythmic body movements into nursery rhymes and stories, we can keep these youngsters’ attention by allowing them to be active. In gthe process, we also enable them to remember new words by association with movement, and we give them an opportunity to exercise new fine and gross motor skills.

Kindermusik Family Time Our Kind of Day Week 8
Dear Family Time Parents,
Family Time Parents, One of the key benefits of Family Time is being in a class full of children of different ages. You can see this benefit most vividly in our pretend play scenarios in class.
When two or more children are engaged in pretend play, the social interaction is usually characterized by a heightened use of action and language. This kind of play becomes more complex as children base it on their own life experiences and then add in or change the play based on new experiences. That’s why Our Kind of Day embraces the every day themes from home that your children well know—such as bath time and play time. Throughout the week watch and see if your children bring their play experiences from class, into their own pretend play scenarios at home.
See you next week!

Eye-Hand Coordination – By playing instruments such as zig-zag blocks with back-and-forth alternating movements, children develop eye-hand coordination. Coordination of eyes and hands is essential to the ability to write, draw, play an instrument, and learn a sport.
Movement - ``Movement is key to learning! Our brains fully develop through movement activities such as crawling, rolling, turning, walking, skipping, reaching, swinging, and much more. The brain has a plan for development that involves specific and intensive motor activities to make full use of our complicated nervous system.``

Kindermusik Sign And Sing
Dear Sign & Sing Parent,
Animals are so much fun for a child! They feel soft and they make interesting sounds—sounds that are fun to imitate! One way to enhance your signing is to pair a sign for an animal with its sound. Children’s books, videos, toys and rhymes all provide opportunities to pair an animal sign with its unique sound. This week try incorporating the following Reading Strategies into your reading time at home:
Look for books that include 3 or more signs you are using at home.
Look for books that have a continuous action or a main character that appears on each page.
When your child shows an interest in a particular page, spend extra time talking about what you see. Your words, the pictures you see and the signs you use will help your child to make connections between them sooner.
Your DVD with this session, The Treasure Chest: Signs, Songs, & Rhymes, contains many songs and rhymes to help continue your weekly fun.
Using signs in many different ways such as daily routines, in stories, and in their favorite DVDs helps your child experience these songs and rhymes in multiple ways. Gather up your books, pop in your DVD’s, and sing and sign along to your CD’s or just make up your own rhymes.
Sign the week away!

Kindermusik OurTime Feedle-dee-dee Week 6
Dear Our Time Parent:
“The greatest pleasures of reading consist in re-reading.” (Vernon Lee) Today you and your child went home with a brand new book, This Little Piggy Played the Fiddle. I am tes oxysure that you will be reading, re-reading, and re-re-reading this book all week! For adults, re-reading brings the opportunity to ponder, catch nuances and remember details. Children, although at a different level and pace, also benefit from re-reading. Their “need” to re-read is evidenced by requests to “read it again.” Although their need is a subconscious one, it is important because it takes repetition to solidify learning. So as you re-read This Little Piggy Played the Fiddle, try these interesting variations:
Make sounds for each of the instruments mentioned.
Help your child name each little piggy.
Make up a tune to go along with the words.
Encourage your child to use her finger to “follow” the bee.
Read the book while doing the traditional “toe wiggle.”
Make up five more “this little piggy” ideas for five more toes.
Talk about what the other animals might be doing.
Or… create your own variations.
I hope you enjoy your book!

Kindermusik Family Time Our Kind of Day Week 7
Dear Family Time Parents,
Wishy Washy, Wishy Washy, Wishy Washy, WEEEEE!
Catchy, isn’t it?
Who knew you could do so much with the tub? It’s a wonderful place to be, no matter what your age. So this week we explored bath time games that will help your children develop fun-tub and learning skills.
Whether using cups, sponges, or rubber ducks in the tub, your children can use bath time for developing reasoning skills. Splashing, making bubbles, pouring water allows your children to use various action schemes to discover what he or she needs to know about an object—and builds problem solving skills, too. In addition, use bath time to name all the body parts as you wash away the day. Use a variety of motions for washing, such as scrubbing, rubbing, tickling, bouncing, digging, etc. and you can make each bath time a new experience and a new adventure.
Plus, you can use a favorite song to signal to your children when it’s time to get in the tub, and when it’s time to get out of the tub, too.
Special note: Early bird savings start this week. Sign up for next semester and save 10 percent on tuition.

Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning – some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:
Glissando – Glissando is a music term that means a continuous sliding movement from one pitch to another. Making glisando vocal sounds extends the pitch range of both the singing and speaking voices, thereby developing the expressive qualities of the voice.
Pretend Play – “Learning to imagine [is the] first step in stretching the human potential.” (Karen Miller, Ages and Stages, p. 65.) The development progression of pretend play generally moves from using one object to represent something else, to dressing up and/or pretending to be something else, to role-playing and interacting while in that role. Foster experiences that provide the opportunity for imagination to blossom.
Ownership of Learning – Learning is optimal when child, parent, and teacher each take an active role in the process. Family Jam provides an opportunity for each child to explore, experiment, imitate, try out new ideas, and reinforce strengths and developing skills. This allows them ownership of their own learning at their own levels.

Kindermusik Sign And Sing
Dear Sign & Sing Parent,
I was “HAPPY” to see you all in class today!
Since the first week, we’ve learned a lot about how children approach signs and begin to make the connection between the sign and the object, word, or action. Your child may be so excited about a new sign that he uses it to describe anything. You may have noticed that your child will over-generalize his signing, such as calling anything round a “BALL.” This is a good thing, an indication that his mind is making the connection between signs and objects and is organizing the information.
You can affirm your child’s ability to make that connection when you use signs frequently throughout your day. Watch your child for his most responsive times as he will be more likely to want to learn more signs. Your child will gradually begin to differentiate signs and words—ensuring more and more successes.
Have fun making a “DANCE” as you go “IN” and “OUT” of the rooms in your house and we’ll see you next week!

Kindermusik Family Time Our Kind of Day Week 6
Dear Family Time Parents,
One goal in every Kindermusik Family Time class is to help children move to music in lots of creative ways. The brain has a plan for development that involves specific and intensive motor activities to make full use of our complicated nervous system.
This means showing your toddler how to hop on one foot, and giving her lots of room to practice. The same is true for a preschooler. Most will learn by watching their friends and they’ll practice, practice, and practice.
By exploring a variety of movement in everything you do—even as you clean around the house—you not only help your children understand what it means to play an important part for your family..
So don’t forget to “go into the kitchen and take a peek!” Or a jump, or hop, or a swing, or swoop!
__________________________________________________
Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning – some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:
Relaxation – Relaxation is a learned behavio, especially in today’s hurried society. A child’s day, even one spent at home, can be very stimulating, offering litle unstructured quiet time. Being able to relzs at times other than naptime or bedtime is a valuable skill for a young child.
Reading Aloud – Reading aloud to a child is the most powerful way to prepare her for success in reading. “Because words are essential in building the thought conections in the brain, the more language a child experiences – through books and through conversation with others, not passively from television – the more advantaged socially, educationally, and in every way that child wil be for the rest of his or her life.” (Mem Fox, Reading Magic, p. 17)

Kindermusik OurTime Feedle-dee-dee Week 5
Dear Our Time Parent:
“Who learns by finding out, has seven fold the skill of him who learned by being told.” (Arthur Gutterman) I enjoyed watching the children play with the hoops today! So many play ideas emerged as each child explored and as you and the other parents interacted with the children.
In previous weeks, we experienced exploration of instruments in which your interaction with your child was of utmost importance. Interaction in today’s exploration of a prop was equally important. Children learn through their own exploration, but a parent’s guidance to help stretch and vary a child’s ideas provides challenges to lead to new levels of learning. Enjoy this experience with your child every day!
I look forward to seeing you next week!

Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning - some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:
Conversational Skills: The echoing in this vocl play begins as imitation but can develop through improvisation on the part of the teacher or the children. The exchange, whether imitative or improvised, allows children to experience the give and take of conversation. This is vital to the development of conversation skills, which is an important element of social development.
Praise the Accomplishment: In acknowledging a child’s choice to participate it is important to praise the accomplishment rather than to make a global comment such as “Good girl!” or “Good boy!” When the latter type of praise is used frequently, there is the danger that the child might interpret the absence of such praise to mean, “I’m a bad boy,” or “I’m not good enough.” Examples of appropriate praise include the following:
“Great job. You played the drum!”
“You’re good at that.”
“You did it!”
-Dr. Becky Bailey, Ten Principles of Positive Discipline audio cassette, Loving Guidance, 1993
