Class Experience

Come get your Hokey Pokey on! In this ongoing, weekly class, we'll sing lots of crazy and catchy songs: favorite "camp" songs, fun folk song classics, call-and-response chants, and much, much more. We'll do a few familiar songs, as well as new-to-you numbers that are sure to get your toes tapping. No slow, sleepy, snoozer songs here! We will also play some fun, interactive games, such as "Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar?" 

We will give special attention to pronouncing the words to the songs, making a game of enunciating each sound clearly. We will even practice saying fun tongue twisters!  

The weekly classes will not build upon one another, so learners may join at any time. New themes will continually be added in the coming weeks; we will not be cycling back through the same themes. 

Week of August 27 — Let's Dance!
Week of September 3 — Animal Fun
Week of September 10 — Yummy, Yummy Food
Week of September 17 — Let's Go!

I have taught children and young people with special needs for over 20 years. Teaching these special people brings me such joy! I look forward to getting to know each learner and building a little community!

I have taught children and young people with special needs for over 20 years. When I taught music in public school, I had a special class for learners who were severely and profoundly disabled. In my undergraduate and master's level education classes, I have had extensive training in differentiating instruction for learners with intellectual, behavioral, and physical disabilities. For many years, I have volunteered at Special Olympics; I love it! I especially enjoyed volunteering in a Sunday school class for children with special needs. I have worked with children with severe autism, Down syndrome, Williams Syndrome, FASD, TBI, and a variety of other developmental challenges.
