US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
The class consists of two parts. In the first part of the class, the students will follow four silly Aliens who landed on Earth. Unfortunately, the Aliens are not very comfortable here and need help to escape from Earth. In order to help the Aliens, students will collect musical clues while listening to pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Mussorgsky, and Gershwin. In a second part of the class, kids will be making an open-ended craft inspired by their musical journey and materials they prepared. Class is appropriate for (𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐑: B1, B2, C1, C2)
Learning Goals
We will practice listening to short segments of classical music and expecting "clues" from the music. Students will be encouraged to use their imagination throughout the class. In addition, they will also exercise their fine motor skills during the craft time.

Parental Guidance
For the craft portion of the class, parental help is required for younger students (ages 4-5) and recommended for older students (ages 6-8) due to the use of scissors.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.
