Mrs. Beth (www.LessonsByBeth.com) visits the classroom weekly to get the children moving, dancing, singing, and playing to music. In class with Mrs. Beth, children learn:

• Folk songs

• Dances (alone, with group, and with partners)

• Fine motor skills through finger plays

• Large motor skills (i.e. growing and shrinking to show pitch)

• Acting through songs that tell a story

• Musical movement and spatial awareness (how to move to music appropriately)

• Beginning music reading (rhythms)

• Songs in foreign languages (i.e. French, Spanish, Hebrew, Sign Language)

• Sequencing through songs and dances (what comes next?)

• Simple math skills through song (i.e. counting, addition, subtraction, skip counting, multiplication)
