Publisher's Synopsis
You may want to introduce the children in your care to dance and movement. But without training in dance, you may feel unsure of your skills.
Feel unsure no longer.
Dance, Turn, Hop, Learn! has 38 creative and fun movement lessons built around common early childhood curriculum themes, such as animals and seasons; each lesson is keyed to the Head Start early childhood learning standards.
The book includes classroom management tools; an introduction to teaching movement; directions for music and props; and help in evaluating and customizing each lesson. Your children will build their large and fine motor skills while growing in other learning domains—physical, social, kindergarten readiness, and cognitive skills. The exercises can be implemented as a self-contained movement curriculum or as a supplement to an existing one.
