In this inspiring, hands-on, and fun
workshop, award-winning musician,
songwriter and music educator Kira
Willey will teach you how to
incorporate music, rhythm and song
seamlessly into your classroom in
order to completely engage (and
keep!) children's attention, create
predictable, calming structure, boost
mindfulness, and help children focus
and learn. Kira will demonstrate her
teaching methods using original music
from her five award-winning CDs of
kids’ yoga songs, as well as playing
live. Attendees will have a blast while
being guided to create their own
rhythm games, call & response
activities, and songs to use in their
own classrooms! There’s absolutely no
musical experience necessary—Kira’s
an expert at making these
techniques immediately accessible for
everyone.

Murder Mystery :
TOTALLY 80'S, TOTALLY MURDER
7:30pm | $10
Join Ohio AEYC and Kaeden
Publshing for a "killer" good time!
This murder mystery party is a themed
event where attendees are
encouraged to dress up to match the
80's era (not required though!).
Attendees will then work together to
solve a fictitious murder which occurs
during the party. This event is often
compared to a live-action version of
the game Clue! Grab your most
righteous ‘80s concert gear to rock out
in style while you solve a crime with
your friends. Jean jackets and spandex
leggings, big hair, bangles, leg
warmers, and ripped jeans will be all
the rage at this rocking night of
mystery. See you there!
Cash bar will be available.
