Imagine That

Now here is where your child may teach you a few things about using your imagination. Kindermusik Imagine That! pairs music with expressive language, storytelling, peer interaction, movement and pretend play. With all this interaction, your child will further expand his/her cognitive and literacy skills as well as creativity and individuality. This learning continues at home with the At-Home Materials.

Child will attend most of this class by him/herself. For some children, being in class without a parent is a new experience. We encourage the parent to let the child stay in class alone, but the parent is free to stay in class until the child is ready to try it alone. A parent or adult caregiver must be present to join class for the last 15 minutes each week--Sharing Time. Siblings are welcome to join class during Sharing Time.

jack-in-the-box, and many other toys is exactly what

your child will enjoy. While activities are centered on

a child's pretend play and imagination, the unit firmly

ensemble, as well as rhythm and rhythmic patterns.

The two literature books are Tippity Tippity Too and

If I Had a Big Blue Boat.

Spring 2013: Cities~Busy Places, Friendly Faces

This unit transports your child into a 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. The class

will create a city that's familiar, yet like no other.

Using visual tools and home activities, children

will transform the classroom, build a city out of

handcrafted "buildings" and walk down sidewalks

made of masking tape and freezer paper. The two

literature books are Razupatu Toto and Down Our Street.

Home Materials include: Imagine That! backpack (*1st semester of IT only), 2 CDs, 2 literature books, Home Activity Book, 2 resonator bars and Cities game
