Silver Buttons Lesson #8

Teacher's Corner:
Sound Beginnings builds its curriculum on seven crucial elements of a young child’s development: Literacy and Kindergarten Skills, Rhythm and Beat, Vocal and Pitch Development, Fine Motor Skills, Gross Motor Skills, Classical Music Experience and Parent Bonding. These elements provide a rich foundation for further music study, school, and life.

Learn & Grow:
Color and shape are two of the most noticeable attributes of the world around us (with size being the third). Children begin to make a connection between familiar objects and their shape at a very early age. When exploring different shapes, children are developing a basic cognitive process: the observation of same and different. This process will be further developed and used to observe, compare and discuss everything they encounter in their lifetime.
Optional home fun activity: Cut out the buttons on page 31 in your workbook and sort them on page 22
(Remember, these activities are optional but can be a great bonding experience to do with your child during the week.)
