Kindermusik OurTime Feedle-dee-dee Celebration
Dear Our Time Families:
The celebration remarks the end of our Feedle-dee-dee semester. We'll meet again for the new curriculum next week. See you!
Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning - some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:
Laughter: “Laughter increases white blood cell activity and changes the chemical balance of the blood cell activity and changes the chemical balance of the blood. This is believed to boost the body’s production of chemicals needed for alertness and memory. Laughter reduces stress, and low stress enhances the brain’s receptivity to learning. According to researchers, laughing (having fun) also boosts the body’s immune system for three days – the day of the fun and the next two.”
Hearing Music Internally: Children need opportunities to hear music sung, and they need invitations to hear music internally, with no external sound source. Being able to hear music “in your head” like this is an important part of musical literacy, just as learning to think sentences and thoughts without speaking is an important feat in language development. Omitting parts of familiar songs is one way to help children begin to “fill in the blanks” and hear music internally.
