Learn Together
Moving and grooving wakes up our bodies and gets children ready to learn new things — like new words in English or Spanish. Talking to your child in the language you are most comfortable using helps set the foundation for future learning in any language!
Materials
- Computer/iPad screen
- Shakers, bells, or maracas
- Drums or rhythm sticks
- Various household items
