Teachers are so stressed about cognitive abilities, they neglect to get the TOTAL child ready for school / life in general, to include not only exposure to multi-languages, math or science skills, but social skills as well. Music is the best and easiest way to do that. Through the use of well-thought out music and movement activities (including child-directed activities, listening games and use of various languages), children will have a list of things they feel capable of doing. Morning Sessions: 10:15-11:45 (Choose One) 1. Totally Tods: by Maryann “Mar” Harman Toddlers enjoy music, too; but they have special needs. Many times materials are too old for them. This workshop will present developmentally appropriate activities and materials for toddlers as well as educate participants on their value in development. 2. Building Vocabulary: by Kathy Cross What is one of the goals each of us has for our child? Answer: To be a successful reader. What can we do now to assist in achieving this goal?
