| Class Experience |
Children will get an opportunity to interact and engage with children their own age. They will receive simple instructions from a teacher and enjoy dancing, creativity, body movement, age-appropriate music and giggles. Each class will start off with a little introduction and each child will be recognized to participate (not forced). Children will also have an option to sit in their seats or stand up. As a group we will discuss what it looks like to follow instructions and after this brief discussion we will go right into our freeze dance fun. Body movement and physical fitness is so important, and in a Montessori setting children get an option of where they would like to work. This is why I allow children to sit or stand, the simple activities will help in their everyday life. We also talk about what it looks like to exercise and have a healthy body. We dance too three or four different (per class session) songs a month. Please remind your little ones to stay safe as they dance and have a great time (for example no standing in chairs). |
