Hello, dear friends!

The world of music is a captivating realm that resonates deeply with the human brain. Extensive research has uncovered remarkable correlations between music-making and the intricate workings of our minds. Active music participation has been linked to a multitude of cognitive benefits, including enhanced language development, improved math skills, higher academic achievement, refined social behavior, and advanced spatial-temporal reasoning – a fundamental skill for effective problem solving.

In my experiences with preschoolers, I've discovered that there's hardly an activity I plan that doesn't involve a nursery rhyme or a song. It's a secret weapon that brings a delightful twist to any task. Music captures children's attention, encouraging them to ask questions, explore, and, most importantly, learn. Through the simple act of singing, they absorb valuable lessons such as vocabulary, sequence of events, and much more.

In this song we will practice counting down from 4 to 0, while expressing sadness for each  melted snowman, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh poor them!

Greetings, my dear friends!

As the chill of the winter season sets in, I must apologize for my voice not being in its finest form during this video. That's life, isn't it? Nonetheless, I couldn't resist sharing a heartwarming song with you, one that holds a special place in my heart. It's my way of sending warm wishes for a joyous Christmas season to each one of you. Thank you for your unwavering support and for all the kind comments that brighten my day.

I use this song both with younger and older children, first to develop the sense of rhyming and the ability of replacing the words in a song with other words/sounds/noises and, later on, i can bring up the letters and their importance of making words.

Today, we're about to delve into the enchanting world of a song that's truly a 'cameleon.' Imagine a tune that effortlessly transitions between two different realms of childhood wonder. In the realm of PSED (Personal, Social, and Emotional Development), it becomes a delightful melody for bonding with your children, teaching them the essence of sharing and kindness. Yet, with a sprinkle of creativity, it morphs into a Halloween masterpiece within the EAAD (Expressive Arts and Design) arena.

These structures leave children explore their vision and their creativity. I only demonstrated the technique insisting on the fact that a structure/building has to balance itself in order to stand up, otherwise it collapses. Then, I let them free to create their own balancing structures.

We all know how difficult is to 'teach' the 3D shapes to young children. In time, I discovered a way to do it, actually to 'watch' it as the children will create their own 3D shapes so that they understand the difference between them and the 2D ones.
