Music and Creative Movement are BACK In Person!

We are so incredibly excited to welcome back our Specialists, Mrs. Wada (Music) and Mrs. Lyng (Creative Movement), for in-person classes with our children each week! Last year, we were not able to have in-person Specialist classes, so instead Mrs. Wada and Mrs. Lyng made videos for the boys and girls. As fantastic as those videos were (TV quality—seriously!), we couldn’t be happier to see the connection between the children and our Specialists.

In Music classes, Mrs. Wada teaches concepts like piano and forte, tempo terms such as andante and allegro, and introduces simple musical instruments, starting with egg shakers. In Creative Movement classes, Mrs. Lyng gets those bodies MOVING! The children jump and dance, practice balancing on one foot, and learn to “cross the midline” by stretching and reaching. I think the classroom teachers would agree that everyone learns a lot, and they get a workout, too!
