Silver Buttons Lesson 10
Believe it or not, our semester of musical fun is quickly coming to a close! I would love to have you join us for more musical adventures. The next semester of Sound Beginnings will be Black Spiders. I hope to see you all there.
We love our sing-along books in Sound Beginnings! Besides being fun, reading aloud to young children has many benefits. To name a few:
- It varies the vocabulary to which children are exposed.
- It affects brain activity associated with visual imagery.
- It enhances concentration.
- It develops creativity and encourages imagination.
- It strengthens social, emotional and character development.
Fun Fact: if you spend just 20 minutes per day reading with your child, during the course of the year you will have accumulated over 120 hours of quality time with him/her.
Optional home fun activity: Make the alligator purse on page 25 in the 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!
