A Magical Class

My Wednesday 9:45 Our Time class was magical this week. Parents followed their children's lead in playing instruments, they literally followed their children when they wandered, and the overall parent-child interaction was incredible. Story time with my animal puppets was so much fun. The children were entranced with the puppets, and several sang along with me in the story. A parent commented to me after class that this was the best group she has ever been with in Kindermusik. The parents have formed a supportive community in the class, encouraging each other and all the children, not just their own. Children learn so much in a loving environment like this one. Each class is a celebration of their accomplishments. Classes like this make me so glad that I am a Kindermusik educator!

Snow Day

Hello from the winter wonderland that is Soddy Daisy, TN! We are having a snow day today with about 2 inches of snow and sleet. So, no school and no Kindermusik classes! Days like this make me glad that I am a teacher. Even though I love my job, a day at home to read the paper and drink coffee, do some chores, and play in the snow with my daughter is much appreciated. I hope that you enjoy a great snow day soon!
