HELLO WEATHER, LET’S PLAY TOGETHER!

WEEK 9

Dear Imagine That! Parent:

“Ooo ooo, I can hear the wind.” Another playful facet of Kindermusik’s Hello Weather unit is that of “wind.” You should have seen the children today “blowing in the wind!” Using their developing listening skills, they heard the drum beat indicating that they should walk around the room. Then combined with that, they heard the slide whistle start and stop, indicating when they should pretend to be blown around by the wind. Such silliness ensued! I am very pleased with their ability to distinguish and act upon these different sounds.

Be sure to ready Family Activity #9 for ideas of ways to include more movement into your daily routines with The Windy Rock, The Family Rock and other rocking activities. And continue to encourage good listening habits by rocking to the suggested selections on your Home CDs.

Until next week…
