For the past three semesters Hope and I have participated in Musikgarten. This is basically a music class for babies and toddlers. The focus is to give young children a feel for rhythm, repetition, pitch, etc. while also incorporating visual and other sensory and motor skills. It has been SO fun and Hope has really enjoyed it. We have used rhythm sticks, sand blocks, shakers, hula hoops, scarves, and many other manipulatives as "instruments" to teach our babies about music. It has also been a great way to interact with Hope while also meeting other moms in our area. Unfortunately the lady that did the class accepted a full time teaching job this coming school year and won't have time to do Musikgarten anymore. :( We are sad about that, but hopefully we'll find some other ways to get out and involved this coming fall. If you moms are looking for a fun thing for you and your child to do, I really highly recommend Musikgarten. It has been so great for us. Here are a few pictures of our last "class".
Hope getting her "certificate of graduation" ;)
We will miss you Miss Shelley!!
