Our Time: MILK & COOKIES

Week 14:

Kindermusik class is an excellent place for your child to practice this turn taking – a basic skill required for successful peer-group interaction. We all understand how difficult waiting can be for a toddler! Several activities this week, (exploring the wooden instruments, Polly Put the Kettle On, story time, and Lead through that Sugar and Tea) offered a turn-taking experience. Throughout life, the turn-taking skill is required for successful social interaction.

Each week in Our Time, we enjoy “rocking time.” Take this experience home and set aside a special time for rocking and listening to all types of music. This will provide moments that are invaluable to the development of both emotional security and music appreciation.
