Family Time
What Families Experience In Class:
Singing
From the first “Hello”
song to the last “Goodbye,” exploring a variety of musical
styles and genres leads children to find their own voice. Plus singing
helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity, and socialization.
Assorted Movement
Whether moving
as a family, as a class, or as individuals, Family Time movement activities
enhance coordination skills, create opportunities for imitation and exploration,
and give everyone something to smile, rock, bounce, or dance about.
Story Time
Reading aloud to children stimulates their curiosity, expands their knowledge, and broadens their understanding of language.
Family Jam
Children as well as adults will love selecting a unique instrument and joining in one big class jam instrument play along session each week.
Musical Concepts
Fun engaging activities bring out the musicality in everyone, from the youngest member of the family to the oldest. Families learn more about music as they learn more about each other.
Learning continues at home
With the home materials, the learning and bonding continues at home with the child’s best teacher—the parent!

Unit Descriptions!
Our Kind of Day—Build family bonds, creativity,
physical and mental development in a delightful one-room schoolhouse.
Each week children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn
from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with
hoops, scarves, and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, puppet
play and happy singing—every Family Time activity encourages discovery
and exploration and fosters sharing and social skills too.
Home Materials: Two Books—Bouncing on the Bed and
Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, Two Home CDs, Family Guide, domino game,
Hopper the kangaroo hand puppet and Bounce the joey finger puppet, and
two double-egg shaker instruments.
Here, There and Everywhere—the five sub-themes center around different family outings: a visit with a friend, an outing at the park, a trip to the city, an afternoon at the aquarium, and a day on the farm. Move like animals with this unit’s story Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap! And follow a girl’s adventure as she loses her jambourine during the day’s outings and then finds it in the story Jingle-Jangle Jambourine.

and Jingle-Jangle Jambourine, Two Home CDs, Family Guide, board game,

Movin’ & Groovin’ is a romping, rolling, stretching good time for the whole family. This ten-lesson unit of Family Time will explore lots of different ways to move—high and low, fast and slow, zigzag, curvy, and more. Family members will chug around the classroom like trains, clip-clop like horses, and roll over like puppy dogs. They’ll hear a story about playing tag together in Can You Catch Me?, and read about a jungle hokey-pokey in Put Your Left Paw In. Show your best groovin’ moves—it’s time for Movin’ & Groovin’.
Home Materials: Two Books—Can You Catch Me? and
Put Your Left Paw In, Two Home CDs, Family Guide, Rascal the monkey hand
puppet and finger puppet, and two monkey den-den drums.
In Make Way for Music, families will sing, dance, and
move their way through an exploration of several elements of music: beat
and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (such as staccato and legato, high
and low, the major scale, and arpeggios), the human voice, instrument
families, and ensemble. They’ll engage in developmentally appropriate
activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays,
songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam.
Home Materials: Two books—Drum Circle and Animals
on Parade, two Home CDs, Family Guide, Rex the lion hand puppet and finger
puppet, an instrument-matching board game and two fingerdrums.
