Hello families!
I was having so much fun playing this first week of the semester, that I basically forgot to take pictures of what was going on in class! But I still want to share an important principle of learning (in Kindermusik we call these Foundations of Learning, or FOL).
This week's FOL is one that is important for all Kindermusik age kids, but I've paraphrased from the Imagine That! family activity book.
The Benefits of Play: Play is an enjoyable, voluntary process. Play and learning have a complex relationship, where the things that are being learned are practiced and developed during play. Play is where concepts are reinforced and explored, and competence is acquired. "Children practice what they learn, and when they are more skilled they try to vary the play." (Guiding Childrern's Social Development, by Kostelnik Stein and Whiren Soderman)
So have fun playing with your children this week! Maybe they can teach you something they learned in Kindermusik class! Have fun!
