Silver Buttons Lesson 1

Our first class was a fun start to Silver Buttons. It was great seeing both new and familiar faces. Singing and playing together is such a bright part of my week! I look forward to getting to know you and your children better.
A few reminders:
• Please keep all materials (workbook, triangle, and puppets/props) in your tote bag to bring to class each week.
• Please turn off your cell phone during class.
• Please utilize the other room if your child becomes fussy or disruptive.
• Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have throughout the semester.

Music and language processing take place in the same area of the brain, so learning music strengthens the area of the brain used for processing language. Sound Beginnings capitalizes on the fact that music and literacy skills are so perfectly paired. By focusing on name recognition and learning the alphabet and letter sounds, we are setting a great foundation for future literacy skills.

Optional home fun activity: Do the Name Recognition activity on page 20 of your workbook
(Remember, these activities are optional but can be a great bonding experience to do with your child during the week.)

For my convenience, I have preloaded content for the whole semester. I will update each future post with specific time-sensitive info before I send the link each week. If you choose to read ahead you might see details that don’t apply to your child’s class. For this reason I do not recommend reading ahead. Thank you!
