Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2

Beginner Level

In this ongoing class, students will "travel" to a new destination (Magic Forest, Land of Sweets, Amazing Toy Store, Land of Dreams, and Sea World) while listening to classical music by famous composers, like Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Mussorgsky, and others. Every time when children "go on a journey" they will reenact parts of different characters and "help" one of the characters while playing listening games. 
For the last 10-15 minutes of the class, students will be invited to draw while listening to the musical parts of their choosing. 
Children are expected to have markers (or crayons) and paper available for drawing time.

The topics are repeated every 5 weeks.

Week 1:   Magic Forest
Week 2:   Amazing Toy Store
Week 3:   Land of Sweets
Week 4:   Land of Dreams
Week 5:   Sea World

🎶🤩 My main goal is to familiarize children with famous pieces of classical music and make them realize how much fun classical music is.

 Class is appropriate for (𝐂𝐄𝐅𝐑: B1, B2, C1, C2)

Profile

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.
