5 words:
Lively, Energetic, Curiosity, absorbing, Motion

5 Sentences: Ok caregivers, turn your child toward you and let’s sing this song together. It’s okay if your child explores the room. Your child may want to see what their neighbor is doing- let’s turn ourselves around to see them. It’s normal for your child to stop and watch me- they are soaking it in! Your child can touch the guitar and play along with me!

Create a plan: 1-2 : Gathering/Greeting: Come Gather Together / Hello. 3. Bonding Song: Wiggly Jiggly Car. 4. Song about Me: Just Like Me. 5. Instrument song: Dancing in the Middle. 6. Movement Song: I Can Move Around. 7. Goodbye: Music Time is Over/Goodbye

[Leslie Aldrich]

5 words: Energy, Exploration, Playful, Spontaneous, Surprise.

5 sentences:
1. Your baby might be ready to move around now during the music, that’s awesome! 2. This is a great time to be playful with your kiddo, watch what I’m doing so you can do this at home with them. 3. Introducing elements of surprise in these songs can be a really fun way to start helping your kiddo branch out in this music. 4. Learning how to stop and start playing the instrument takes a while, so when we pause, we want to give them enough time to process that. 5. It’s great if you kiddo wants to face you or if they start wanting to face out to the other group members too, they are curious!

SM2 Plan:
Gathering Song – Are you ready for music.
Hello Song – Original.
Sit and Shake with Me – maracas and shakers instrument exploration.
In my Little Hand – Instrument exploration.
Transition – All Done and Clean Up song.
Wiggly Jiggly Car – Bonding song/lap ride.
Scarf Song – movement.
That all makes up me – Song about me.
Transition – gathering to finish the class.
Goodbye song.

I really like the tone of your 5 sentences, especially the phrase “helping your kiddo branch out” and the explanation of the pause.

Movement, Playfulness, Silly, Engaging, Bonding

Let’s explore through moving, touching, and playing! It’s okay if your baby wants to face you or face out – both have great benefits. This can be as much fun for you as it is for your baby. Enjoy this time together. The more comfortable you are, the more comfortable your baby will be.
