<span style="background: white; color: #555544; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Remember all children are
different, and your child may not participate the same as others. Your child
may wander or just observe, but they are absorbing the atmosphere and are
learning.</span><span style="color: #555544; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<span style="background: white;">You may need to stand up with your child, while
others are sitting. You may need to find a new way to rock or move. Find a way
to participate with your child.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">For those with older children (<i>Imagine That</i> or <i>Young
Child</i>), you may notice that they respond differently when you come for
sharing time. This is part of being an independent learner. Try not to judge
your child. Do correct disruptive behavior that is inappropriate such as loud
talking, angry outbursts or struggling with a sibling who enters. Once class is
over, tell the child what you enjoyed about being in class with them. Put the
accent on the positive that you want to see repeated.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="background: white;">If you miss a class </span></b><span style="background: white;">you are welcome to make it up on another day/time.
Unfortunately some classes don't have that option...especially the
evening classes. It would be helpful if you could email about making up a
class, just so we know you are coming. It is not imperative, but
encouraged. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I asked former Kindermusik moms to tell me what they wish they had NOT stressed over and the experiences they would encourage. <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Don't stress over:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Potty training - they won't go to kindergarten in a diaper. </div>
2. Schedules - while routines are very important, don't miss out on a fun experience because of a your set schedule.<br />
3. Behavior - it is not always a reflection of your parenting. Preschoolers can do odd and funky things, it doesn't mean they have psychological problems or you are doing something wrong as their parent!<br />
4. Don't be afraid to say "this is what our family does <b>or</b> does not do."<br />
5. Don't stress over what other families are doing. Your family is unique. Do what is best for your family and your particular situation.<br />
6. Don't worry about keeping your house clean. Take out the diapers and keep the sticky off the floor, but play more than you pick up. Kathy said, "remember you rarely see the homes of toddlers in Southern Living!"<br />
<br />
<b>The "do" list is much longer:</b><br />
1. Books - read to them to when they are little. Read with them when they can read on their own. Share articles and devotions with them as they enter the teen years.<br />
2. Storytime at the library! Go and enjoy this special time with your kids, it will encourage life long learning. Enroll in the summer reading program and make a big deal out of getting a cupcake from Honeymoon bakery!<br />
3. Give them experiences rather than gifts! Plan a trip to the zoo, the aquarium, the park or to ride bikes. <br />
4. Eat meals together and talk about your day - the good and the bad.<br />
5. Teach them to swim - the world is 2/3 water<br />
6. Go to their events, even when it means you have to change up your schedule!<br />
7. Be silly. Laurie said, "after weekly swim lessons we would go get biscuits at different establishments and rate them."<br />
8. Share a love of nature and being outside. Jackie said, "when my kids were getting on my nerves, we would go outside. A change of scenery helped everyone's attitude."<br />
9. Let them share in your world. Allow them to help you, even if it would be easier to do it yourself. Let them tear the lettuce, stir in the chocolate chips, break the eggs, put wet clothes in the dryer, rake leaves, etc...<br />
10. Listen to a variety of music. Take them to appropriate concerts, shows and to appreciate the arts.<br />
11. Ride bikes together. Kids may tell you things while riding side by side rather than looking at you.<br />
12. Worship together regularly, they will never know it's not an option.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Terri, Angie, Jennifer, Laurie, Kathy, and Jackie for their wisdom.<br />
What would you add to the list?

<span style="color: #555544; font-family: "tahoma" , "trebuchet ms" , "lucida" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">Details you should know to make your Kindermusik experience go smoothly:</span><br />
<ul style="color: #555544; font-family: tahoma, 'trebuchet ms', lucida, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><a href="http://www.berry.edu/Templates/general.aspx?id=51539612161" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #669922; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Directions</a></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;">The college students also return to campus on January 9. This means more cars in the parking lot, more students driving to class. <span style="font-weight: bold;">BE CAREFUL </span>in the parking lot and crossing the street. </li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;">The new welcome center is now open and the gate is operational. If you don't have an electronic pass on your car, go through the visitor entrance and they will scan your ID at the gate. You can get an electronic pass ($15) and make your entrance quicker, or just allow more time to get to class. If you want the pass, there is a yellow form to fill out and you can get one from your Kindermusik teacher and then take it to the campus safety house across from the main entrance.</li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">Allow plenty of time to find a parking place and get to class. Once you arrive on campus, it will take you at least 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the classroom.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">The elevator is a great asset. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; line-height: 20.8px;"><b>Please help us keep the alarm from ringing or the help button from being pushed. </b></span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">Buttons are inviting to children, and they are low...but keep them from calling security! Let them push the "floor" buttons, but stay away from the red and yellow ones!</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">Please use quiet voices and walking feet as you enter the building.</span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> First floor where you access the elevator is full of offices. Once on third floor there are college classes in session. If you have to take your child in the hall during class because he or she is crying, go to the north end of the hallway or the restroom to avoid disrupting classes.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">In case of severe weather</span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">, Kindermusik follows the Floyd County Schools.

Here are some parameters, guidelines and thoughts on the difference between a Village class and Our Time class.<br />
<br />
<i>Kindermusik Village</i> is for newborn - 18 month olds. That is a guideline for the ages in the class. There are exceptions based on developmental abilities.<br />
<br />
In general Village classes:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>move at a slower pace </li>
<li>allow for more exploration before moving on to "next"</li>
<li>children experience the beat through movement with adults and hear it modeled in the class</li>
<li>Parent is essential to a great Village experience</li>
</ul>
<i>Kindermusik Our Time</i> classes are for 18 months - 3 year olds.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>there are more activities in Our Time and the pace is quicker</li>
<li>children are asked for their ideas</li>
<li>parents are important to the class, but the children begin to assert independence</li>
<li>children begin to demonstrate the ability to play instrument with regards to steady beat</li>
<li>children listen for specific sounds and are asked to respond with their bodies. Moving high and low, fast and slow.</li>
</ul>
If you are uncertain about which class is right for your child, please have a conversation with your Kindermusik teacher!Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08875595609771204389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358565676720019531.post-36118030135165439182016-10-20T10:56:00.000-07:002016-10-20T10:56:26.005-07:00Family Fun in the Fall!<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="templateContainer" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px; color: black; max-width: 600px !important; width: 100%px;"><tbody>

<br />
Getting Here:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.berry.edu/Templates/general.aspx?id=51539612161">Directions</a></li>
<li>The college students return on August 22. This means more cars in the parking lot, more students driving to class. <span style="font-weight: bold;">BE CAREFUL </span>in the parking lot and crossing the street. The new welcome center is now open and the gate is operational. For details on the gate and how it affects coming onto campus, <a href="http://johndruckenmiller.com/blog/2015/07/18/berry-college-to-implement-new-visitors-guidelines-to-enhance-school-security/">click here</a>. If you want to get a sticker ($10) and avoid the visitor lane, we can get you the paperwork to get started.</li>
</ul>
The first few weeks are a whirlwind of activity. New teachers, new friends, and new music. Sometimes it takes several weeks for children to feel comfortable in their new surroundings. What can you do to make it the best experience?<br />
<ul>
<li>Be on time for class. I realize parking can be an issue. After 5 pm you can park in any lot!<ol></ol>
</li>
<li>Leave toys and food at home or in the car.</li>
<li>Be patient and encouraging. </li>
<li>Think, say: how many ways can we....play the sticks, move high, move low, wave our hand, etc... Your suggestion, then they get an idea of their own, this is called scaffolding!</li>
<li>Have fun in class, and your child will follow your lead.</li>
<li>Some children are observers. The class is where they soak it in, and then later it comes pouring out!</li>
<li>Unless you are expecting an important call, turn your phone off when you come to class.</li>
<li>Focus on your child during class, and save conversation with grown-ups for later.</li>
<li>Play the music at home and in the car. </li>
<li>Incorporate activities from class into your daily routine. Your family activity book or card has lots of ways to do this.</li>
</ul>
Remember all children are different, and your child may not participate the same as others. Your child may wander or just observe, but they are absorbing the atmosphere and are learning.<br />
You may need to stand up with your child, while others are sitting. You may need to find a new way to rock or move. Find a way to participate with your child.<br />
<br />
For those with older children (<i>Imagine That</i> or <i>Young Child</i>), you may notice that they respond differently when you come for sharing time. This is part of being an independent learner. Try not to judge your child. Do correct disruptive behavior that is inappropriate such as loud talking, angry outbursts or struggling with a sibling who enters. Once class is over, tell the child what you enjoyed about being in class with them. Put the accent on the positive that you want to see repeated.<br />
<br />
<b>If you miss a class </b>you are welcome to make it up on another day/time. Unfortunately some classes don't have that option...especially the evening classes. It would be helpful if you could email about making up a class, just so we know you are coming. It is not imperative, but encouraged. Here is the class schedule for Fall 2016::<br />

<li>Allow plenty of time to find a parking place and get to class. Once you arrive on campus, it will take you at least 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the classroom.</li>
<li>The elevator is a great asset. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Please help us keep the alarm from ringing or the help button from being pushed. </b></span>Buttons are inviting to children, and they are low...but keep them from calling security! Let them push the "floor" buttons, but stay away from the red and yellow ones!</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please use quiet voices and walking feet as you enter the building.</span> First floor where you access the elevator is full of offices. Once on third floor there are college classes in session. If you have to take your child in the hall during class because he or she is crying, go to the north end of the hallway or the restroom to avoid disrupting classes.</li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">In case of severe weather</span>, Kindermusik follows the Floyd County Schools. If the Floyd county schools are closed due to inclement weather, then Kindermusik will not meet. If the county cancels classes after 2 p.m., you will need to call the Kindermusik office concerning afternoon and evening classes, OR check for an update on the blog.</li>
<li>Kindermusik of Berry College does not follow a specific school system for breaks, so teachers will announce these to individual classes. There will also be announcements on the blog. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">No classes on Labor Day</span>.</span> Monday classes will make those up the week of Thanksgiving.</li>

I went for training that summer and started teaching a small group of children at the Child Development Center on the Berry campus. Fast forward 28 years (WHAT?) and I have 2nd generation kids in classes and have seen Kindermusik grads who continue their music into adulthood. The Kindermusik tag line, "a good beginning never ends" is one I believe. Kindermusik is more than just learning music, it's learning life skills through music.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When the education department at Berry College decided to partner with an under-served community, it made sense for Kindermusik to be a part of their education. The 3 year olds at the South Rome Early Learning Center (SRELC) thrive in the music presented via Kindermusik each week. For many of the children, English is their 2nd language and the songs and books used in Kindermusik allow them an opportunity to practice their English skills. Home materials are an important component in the program, so the learning continues with their families.</span><br />

I have had many families come through the program during the years, but one family has just finished 20 years with me! Louis and Susan Lataif moved to Rome in 1996 when their first child, Emily, was about 2 years old. Susan always started the kids in <i><a href="http://www.berry.edu/kindermusik/ourtime/">Our Time</a> </i>classes and could easily have taught the classes because she knew all the songs. She loved her one on one time with her toddlers, but often had a baby or older sibling in tow. <br />

The children continued in Kindermusik through all the curricula, and she often had 3 or 4 kids in different classes. The kids in <a href="http://www.berry.edu/kindermusic/fortheyoung/">Young Child</a> classes were often lucky enough to have Dad join them for sharing time. This family appreciates music, and immersed their children in music. All the kids have played the piano, Emily and Frances even took piano in college. Ted has recently started learning the trumpet. Renee wants to learn the violin and guitar.</div>

The Lataif kids, 3 girls and 4 boys, are always polite, courteous and friendly. The boys can be rambunctious and rowdy, but Susan knows how to reel them in. One of the things I loved about having Susan and her kids in Kindermusik was that she was a great parenting model. She enjoyed her children, but didn't worship them. She was always interested in people and hearing their stories. She made sure her kids listened and didn't interrupt adults that were talking. She let them make mistakes and suffer consequences. </div>

Did I mention she homeschool's her kids? They are scheduled and have routines. They take tennis lessons, they are involved at church, the boys are in Scouts, the girls sew and knit. The Lataif's all help out at home. Every spring they go to the local strawberry farm, each pick 2 buckets of berries (62 pounds this year!) and then home to help make jam. I have been the recipient of delicious strawberry jam for many years. The kids know how to take initiative, because they know their mom and dad aren't going to do it for them. Emily will graduate from the University of Dallas this weekend. Frances attends Catholic University of America in DC. Ted will go to University of Illinois this fall to study Aeronautical Engineering. George is often flying his drone and taking videos, many that have been used on local news sites. Renee just completed a National program for piano guild auditions, memorizing 8 pieces, playing all minor scales and transposing! She received a superior rating. Philip and Charlie are also taking piano and doing great. They have a regular practice schedule at their house, and I think the piano must be busy all day long. That is music to my ears!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks Lataif's for letting me share in your life these past 20 years. It's been wonderful and you will be missed in Kindermusik.<br />

New teachers, new friends, and new music. Sometimes it takes several weeks for children to feel comfortable in their new surroundings. What do you need to know:<br />
<ul>
<li>Be on time for class. I realize parking can be an issue. After 5 pm you can park in any lot!<ol></ol>
</li>
<li>Leave toys and food at home or in the car.</li>
<li>Be patient and encouraging. </li>
<li>Think, say: how many ways can we....play the sticks, move high, move low, wave our hand, etc... Your suggestion, then they get an idea of their own, this is called scaffolding!</li>
<li>Have fun in class, and your child will follow your lead.</li>
<li>Some children are observers. The class is where they soak it in, and then later it comes pouring out!</li>
<li>Unless you are expecting an important call, turn your phone off when you come to class.</li>
<li>Focus on your child during class, and save conversation with grown-ups for later.</li>
<li>Play the music at home and in the car. </li>
<li>Incorporate activities from class into your daily routine. Your family activity book or card has lots of ways to do this.</li>
<li>Please sign the photo release if it is okay to post pictures of you and your child on social media or the Kindermusik blog/website. </li>
<li>Check the board in the Kindermusik for pertinent information. Email and Facebook are also ways we communicate on a regular basis.</li>
<li>Do you need some parenting tips? Kindermusik International has great post to help you out, check out their <a href="https://www.kindermusik.com/mindsonmusic/parenting-tips/">blog</a>. </li>

</ul>
Remember all children are different, and your child may not participate the same as others. Your child may wander or just observe, but they are absorbing the atmosphere and are learning.<br />
You may need to stand up with your child, while others are sitting. You may need to find a new way to rock or move. Find a way to participate with your child. If you are engaged, they will be too!<br />
<br />
For those with older children (<i>Imagine That</i> or <i>Young Child</i>), you may notice that they respond differently when you come for sharing time. This is part of being an independent learner. Try not to judge your child. Do correct disruptive behavior that is inappropriate such as loud talking, angry outbursts or struggling with a sibling who enters. Once class is over, tell the child what you enjoyed about being in class with them. Put the accent on the positive that you want to see repeated.<br />
<br />
<b>If you miss a class </b>you are welcome to make it up on another day/time. Unfortunately some classes don't have that option...especially the evening classes. It would be helpful if you could email about making up a class, just so we know you are coming. It is not imperative, but encouraged. Here is the class schedule for Spring 2016:<br />

<span style="color: #555544; font-family: tahoma, 'Trebuchet MS', lucida, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">Details you should know to make your Kindermusik experience go smoothly:</span><br />
<ul style="color: #555544; font-family: tahoma, 'Trebuchet MS', lucida, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><a href="http://www.berry.edu/Templates/general.aspx?id=51539612161" style="background: transparent; color: #669922; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Directions</a></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;">The college students also return to campus on January 11. This means more cars in the parking lot, more students driving to class. <span style="font-weight: bold;">BE CAREFUL </span>in the parking lot and crossing the street. </li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;">The new welcome center is now open and the gate is operational. For details on the gate and how it affects coming onto campus, <a href="http://johndruckenmiller.com/blog/2015/07/18/berry-college-to-implement-new-visitors-guidelines-to-enhance-school-security/" style="background: transparent; color: #669922; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">click here</a>. If you don't have an electronic pass on your car, they will scan your ID at the gate. You can get an electronic pass and make your entrance quicker, or just allow more time to get to class. If you want the pass, there is a yellow form to fill out and you can get one from your Kindermusik teacher and then take it to the campus safety house across from the main entrance.</li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">Allow plenty of time to find a parking place and get to class. Once you arrive on campus, it will take you at least 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the classroom.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">The elevator is a great asset. </span><span style="color: #cc0000; line-height: 20.8px;"><b>Please help us keep the alarm from ringing or the help button from being pushed. </b></span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">Buttons are inviting to children, and they are low...but keep them from calling security! Let them push the "floor" buttons, but stay away from the red and yellow ones!</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">Please use quiet voices and walking feet as you enter the building.</span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> First floor where you access the elevator is full of offices. Once on third floor there are college classes in session. If you have to take your child in the hall during class because he or she is crying, go to the north end of the hallway or the restroom to avoid disrupting classes.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">In case of severe weather</span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">, Kindermusik follows the Floyd County Schools. If the Floyd county schools are closed due to inclement weather, then Kindermusik will not meet. If the county cancels classes after 2 p.m., you will need to call the Kindermusik office concerning afternoon and evening classes, OR check for an update on the blog.</span></li>
<li style="line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">Kindermusik of Berry College does not follow a specific school system for breaks, so teachers will announce these to individual classes. There will also be announcements on the blog. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; line-height: 20.8px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">No classes on Martin Luther King Day. </span></span><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> Monday classes will continue through May 2. Other classes will end the week of April 25.</span></li>

<br />
Getting Here:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.berry.edu/Templates/general.aspx?id=51539612161">Directions</a></li>
<li>The college students return on August 24. This means more cars in the parking lot, more students driving to class. <span style="font-weight: bold;">BE CAREFUL </span>in the parking lot and crossing the street. The new welcome center is now open and the gate is operational. For details on the gate and how it affects coming onto campus, <a href="http://johndruckenmiller.com/blog/2015/07/18/berry-college-to-implement-new-visitors-guidelines-to-enhance-school-security/">click here</a>.</li>
</ul>
The first few weeks are a whirlwind of activity. New teachers, new friends, and new music. Sometimes it takes several weeks for children to feel comfortable in their new surroundings. What can you d<br />
<ul>
<li>Be on time for class. I realize parking can be an issue. After 5 pm you can park in any lot!<ol></ol>
</li>
<li>Leave toys and food at home or in the car.</li>
<li>Be patient and encouraging. </li>
<li>Think, say: how many ways can we....play the sticks, move high, move low, wave our hand, etc... Your suggestion, then they get an idea of their own, this is called scaffolding!</li>
<li>Have fun in class, and your child will follow your lead.</li>
<li>Some children are observers. The class is where they soak it in, and then later it comes pouring out!</li>
<li>Unless you are expecting an important call, turn your phone off when you come to class.</li>
<li>Focus on your child during class, and save conversation with grown-ups for later.</li>
<li>Play the music at home and in the car. </li>
<li>Incorporate activities from class into your daily routine. Your family activity book or card has lots of ways to do this.</li>
</ul>
Remember all children are different, and your child may not participate the same as others. Your child may wander or just observe, but they are absorbing the atmosphere and are learning.<br />
You may need to stand up with your child, while others are sitting. You may need to find a new way to rock or move. Find a way to participate with your child.<br />
<br />
For those with older children (<i>Imagine That</i> or <i>Young Child</i>), you may notice that they respond differently when you come for sharing time. This is part of being an independent learner. Try not to judge your child. Do correct disruptive behavior that is inappropriate such as loud talking, angry outbursts or struggling with a sibling who enters. Once class is over, tell the child what you enjoyed about being in class with them. Put the accent on the positive that you want to see repeated.<br />
<br />
<b>If you miss a class </b>you are welcome to make it up on another day/time. Unfortunately some classes don't have that option...especially the evening classes. It would be helpful if you could email about making up a class, just so we know you are coming. It is not imperative, but encouraged. Here is the class schedule for Fall 2015:<br />

<ol>
<li>Allow plenty of time to find a parking place and get to class. Once you arrive on campus, it will take you at least 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the classroom.</li>
<li>The elevator is a great asset. <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Please help us keep the alarm from ringing or the help button from being pushed. </b></span>Buttons are inviting to children, and they are low...but keep them from calling security! Let them push the "floor" buttons, but stay away from the red and yellow ones!</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please use quiet voices and walking feet as you enter the building.</span> First floor where you access the elevator is full of offices. Once on third floor there are college classes in session. If you have to take your child in the hall during class because he or she is crying, go to the north end of the hallway or the restroom to avoid disrupting classes.</li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">In case of severe weather</span>, Kindermusik follows the Floyd County Schools. If the Floyd county schools are closed due to inclement weather, then Kindermusik will not meet. If the county cancels classes after 2 p.m., you will need to call the Kindermusik office concerning afternoon and evening classes, OR check for an update on the blog.</li>
<li>Kindermusik of Berry College does not follow a specific school system for breaks, so teachers will announce these to individual classes. There will also be announcements on the blog. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">No classes on Labor Day</span>.</span> Monday classes will make those up the week of Thanksgiving.</li>

If you have questions or concerns about anything in class, talk with your child's teacher.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Following the concerto winners, the symphony will perform the beloved musical story by Prokofiev, <i><b>Peter and the Wolf.</b></i> Children who have been in Kindermusik for the Young Child will remember this story as we use it to reinforce our auditory recollection of the orchestral instruments. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">A big change is happening on the Berry campus and it will affect Kindermusik. The construction of the beautiful new welcome center is almost complete and opening soon. Berry faculty, staff and students will be issued new stickers that will allow them automatic entrance to the campus via an electronic system. Here is what you need to know:</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><b>Those without Berry stickers will enter through a visitor’s lane and be asked for identification.</b></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"><b> </b> The process should be very quick.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">With time, we plan to enable some of our regular visitors to purchase stickers for a charge that covers the sticker cost. We hope to put this program in place later during 2015, after we have completed the transition with the Berry community and have addressed any technical or procedural issues. Until then, those visitors are welcome to enter through the visitor’s lane.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;" />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">There is always a learning curve with a change and new procedures. You may need to allow a few extra minutes to get to class on time and thank you for your patience as Berry makes these adjustments. An announcement about the commencement of this new policy/procedure will be sent via email and also made on the blog. </span></span></span></div>

<li>Allow plenty of time to find a parking place and get to class. Once you arrive on campus, it will take you at least 5 minutes to get from the parking lot to the classroom.</li>
<li>The elevator is a great asset. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Please help us </span>keep the alarm from ringing or the help button from being pushed. Buttons are inviting to children, and they are low...but keep them from calling security! Let them push the "floor" buttons, but stay away from the red and yellow ones!</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please use quiet voices and walking feet as you enter the building.</span> First floor where you access the elevator is full of offices. Once on third floor there are college classes in session. If you have to take your child in the hall during class because he or she is crying, go to the north end of the hallway or the restroom to avoid disrupting classes.</li>
<li><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">In case of severe weather</span>, Kindermusik follows the Floyd County Schools. If the Floyd county schools are closed due to inclement weather, then Kindermusik will not meet. If the county cancels classes after 2 p.m. check for an update on the blog or on the Y Kindermusik of Berry College Facebook page! LIKE US! If you want to be certain call the office and there will be a message about the weather, 706-233-4091</li>
<li>Kindermusik of Berry College does not follow a specific school system for spring break, so teachers will announce these to individual classes. There will also be announcements in class, on the blog and on Facebook.</li>

If you have questions or concerns about anything in class, talk with your child's teacher.<br />

We are glad you have chosen Kindermusik, it's a great way to enhance your child's life through music.Kathrynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08875595609771204389noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358565676720019531.post-50138764552317572682015-01-12T08:00:00.000-08:002015-01-12T07:28:07.647-08:00Remember This<br />
Kindermusik classes for spring semester begin the week of January 12. Here are some things you need to know:<br />
<br />
It's cold and flu season! If your child has had a fever in the past 24 hours, please do not attend class. Wash your hands, and/or use hand sanitizer before and after class. We will take precautions by wiping instruments and washing scarves on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
Remember all children are different, and your child may not participate the same as others. Your child may wander or just observe, but they are absorbing the atmosphere and are learning.<br />
You may need to stand up with your child, while others are sitting. You may need to find a new way to rock or move. Find a way to participate with your child.<br />
<br />
For those with older children (<i>Imagine That</i> or <i>Young Child</i>), you may notice that they respond differently when you come for sharing time. This is part of being an independent learner. Try not to judge your child. Do correct disruptive behavior that is inappropriate such as loud talking, angry outbursts or struggling with a sibling who enters. Once class is over, tell the child what you enjoyed about being in class with them. Put the accent on the positive that you want to see repeated.<br />
<br />
<b>If you miss a class </b>you are welcome to make it up on another day/time. Unfortunately some classes don't have that option...especially the evening classes. It would be helpful if you could email about making up a class, just so we know you are coming. It is not imperative, but encouraged. Here is the class schedule for Spring 2015:<br />

I love to bake and share cookies with my Kindermusik families during the holidays, so this year one of my classes had a cookie swap. I had everyone bring 3 dozen cookies. At the end of class we sampled and swapped cookies to take home. Several of the moms shared their recipes, and I wanted to post them for everyone to enjoy. You can find more cookie recipes on my <a href="http://journeywiththenobles.blogspot.com/">personal blog</a>.</span><br />

Quality music, new friends, age appropriate activities, and learning is at the forefront of all we do. Are you thinking, let's try something new because we have already done Kindermusik, remember that children need familiar, and they need <a href="http://mindsonmusic.kindermusik.com/benefits-of-music/repeat-after-me-kids-learn-from-repetition/">repetition</a>. For children in Imagine That and Young Child classes they are just beginning to respond appropriately and learn key concepts in the music making process. Do you have questions, ask your teacher or email Kathryn and she can help you choose the right class for your child.<br />
<br />
Spring semester will bring new songs, activities and friends to Kindermusik. Don't miss out, register today. <a href="http://www.berry.edu/kindermusik/">Registration</a> is online, and you can choose to pay with credit card, check or make payments. <br />
<br />
You can save $15 if you pay in full by December 1. This can be confusing, so here's the explanation. The fee listed in the brochure is the amount after December 1. For example - if you are registering for Kindermusik Our Time, the fee listed in the brochure is $205. Pay in full by December 1 and it is $190. When you pull up the online registration $190 is the amount you see before December 1, after that date the amount listed will be $205. <br />
<br />
The fall semester is coming to a close and here are some dates to remember:<br />
<ul>
<li>Monday classes will meet on November 24.</li>
<li>Kathryn's Tuesday afternoon classes (Beyond and Young Child) will meet on November 25 which is Thanksgiving week. Beyond class will meet on December 2, but not Young Child due to the Christmas parade.</li>
<li>No classes the week of Thanksgiving except those mentioned above.</li>
<li>The last day of class will vary depending on the teacher. Monday classes will end on December 1. Most classes will not end until the week of December 8, but ask your teacher to be certain. Kathryn: knobles@berry.edu Kay: brattonk@bellsouth.net Wendy: hamilton80@aol.com</li>
