EC3 During Music and Movement Class

EC3 During Music and Movement Class

EC3 students were engaged in different activities, while they were developing understanding of our agreements and expectations in music and movement class. 

Students have been practicing basic fundamental movement skills. Fundamental Movement Skills are movement patterns that involve different body parts such as the legs, arms, trunk and head, and include such skills as running, hopping, catching, throwing and balancing. 

 Responding to Music with Movement

Students also have been learning song and responding to music with movement. These songs have help students explore different locomotor skills.

 Children will move on different pathways using different movement skills to gain a better control of their movements.

Welcome Back

Music and Movement 

Welcome Back Early Childhood Students 

Music and Movement help develop self-esteem, gross motor skills, social skills, listening skills and so much more. We all know gross motor movement is important for development, but when kids move to music, they are getting so much more than just exercise. They are developing their coordination, balance, concentration and cognitive abilities.

 

I look forward to an enjoyable process of learning with your children,

Please feel free to contact me for any questions

Gymnastics Unit - EC3 and EC4

GYMNASTICS UNIT
Gymnastics is a great way to help students develop their locomotor and balance skills as well as body and spatial awareness.

• This unit is designed to develop the mind and body connection in students, enhance their body awareness, and teach them to move in a controlled and safe manner. In other words, this unit aims to improve body management through the use of fundamental movement skills.
• In this unit, students will be exposed to a variety of experiences including stretching, traveling, balancing and rolling. The activities used and the skills learned will help improve students’ body management, movement control, and development of locomotor and non-locomotor skills.
• This unit promotes coordination, flexibility, agility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance.
