Imagine That!: CITIES! BUSY PLACES~FRIENDLY FACES

Week 2:

“Going up…Going down…” Have you heard your child singing these phrases this week? They are part of a song we have been learning called Elevator and Escalator. As your child sings this song, he is learning about glissando, a musical effect obtained by singing (or playing) a rapid series of pitches going up or down in a continuous sliding movement. Also, as we have pretended to ride on an elevator, your child has been using his imagination to transfer real experiences (the “concrete”) into gestures (the “abstract”). This cognitive skill is one preschool-aged children are typically ready to develop, and what better way to learn than through play!
