US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
Beginner Level
The class consists of two parts. In the first part of the class, the students will try to escape from dinosaurs by solving musical riddles and collecting clues. We will be listening to several fragments from Saint-Saëns's The Carnival of the Animals suite. In addition, students will be invited to use their imagination and pretend to be different characters with Saint-Saëns's music. In the second part of the class, kids will be making animal puppets of their choosing in an open-ended craft. 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.

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.
