Session
Join Ron and take an in-depth look at
the developmental progression of
language and literacy of infants and
toddlers. Develop specific strategies to
nurture growth and identify milestones
to better understand how to be
intentional at different stages. We will
see ourselves as a partner to a child’s
learning so we can make choices that
connect to children where they are. This session is for everyone, both the
talented and the "vocally challenged"!
Our FIRST objective is to build your
confidence and help you to believe in
your ability to engage the children in
learning through music. By the
conclusion, we will have paved the way
for everyone to return to the classroom
with simple, tried and true, effective
learning tools to use immediately based
on rhythm, movement and singing. We
will sing, clap and move throughout the
session, and learn how, when and
where to use the new ideas during your
work day... in circle, transitions, clean
up, hello/goodbye, special days, cheers
and affirmations, and intentional times
of learning.
