🌞🌞🌞 Lava Schedule 🌋🌋🌋 Jan 1-7: Race Car Lava Jan 8-14: Lego/Building Lava Jan 15-21: Dinosaur Lava Jan 22-28: Brain Games Lava Jan 29-Feb 4: Slime Lava 🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋🌋😋😋😋😋😋😋 This weekly class combines all of my most popular classes! There are SO many ways we can move around and get exercise, and it doesn't have to be running laps! WE could be playing The Floor is Lava! We could be pretending there are tacos in the sky! We could be searching for clues! The ideas are endless and so is the fun!!! We will always begin class with introductions when we have new students along with a question (favorite color, food, etc). Then we will start with a fun and energetic warm up song to get everyone happy and moving! Then it's movement, games, and mysteries to our theme! We will move to awesome songs, play movement games that may include clues, scavenger hunts, show-and-tell, and so much more. Games are specially designed so there are no individual winners, rather everyone just has fun. Children will feel empowered that they can participate in the dances and games no matter their age or skill. Children will have the opportunity to tell us or show us one thing they like to do. This encourages confidence and shows us that we are all unique and special. We all have different talents so let's celebrate them! This class incorporates moves from the Zumba Kids program. Zumba is different than a dance class because it is intended for every child. There are no skill levels. Children are allowed to move however they like and however is comfortable. This gives the child the opportunity to explore who they are. This class will encourage confidence, empowerment, and pure joy! The goal of the class is to have your child happy and smiling ☺️ At the end of class, we will have a brief show and tell of anything students would like to share or tell us. They also do not have to share if they don't want to. This encourages confidence and shows us that we are all unique and special. We all have different talents and interests so let's celebrate them! We will then say goodbye until next week! *Depending on the interests of the enrolled learners, the scheduled themes may change so I can further personalize the class. **Depending on the willingness of the enrolled learners to share and talk with us, the class may continue past the scheduled end time. However, I will always make sure the class does not finish before the scheduled end time. ***Depending on the theme of the week and the willingness of the learners, some classes may have more time for movement than others.
Learning Goals
Children will develop their movement and coordination skills. They will develop their public speaking, communication, and listening skills. They will increase their confidence and creativity by expressing themselves with movement.
