SUMMARY:Shake\, Rattle and Roll! Creative Music and Movement Experiences for Young Children
DESCRIPTION:Shake\, Rattle\, and Roll! Creative Music and Movement Experiences for Young Children \nGrowing up\, music and dancing were an everyday part of my life. It just seemed to come naturally to this energetic little girl. I may not be the world’s best singer or dancer\, but when it comes to singing and dancing as a form of Play…this is my jam! I rock it out like a toddler grooving to their own tune. To this day\, I still rock it out like I did when I was 4 years old. For many of us\, singing and dancing evoke feelings of joy. An opportunity for self-expression. Cultures around the world use music and dancing as a way to communicate and connect. Children naturally embrace this style of play when they are surrounded by those who embrace it\, too! Music and movement comes in many forms\, styles\, rhythms and patterns. It can simulate feelings of joy and wonder as well as sadness and grief. By creating a responsive play environment that captures this outlet of music and movement\, we can help the children feel a sense of belonging\, an opportunity to learn about themselves\, their feelings and their experience. A chance for them to share with us their laughter\, sadness\, joy and worries. A language that shows us their thoughts\, ideas and experiences. Join me as we sing and dance our way through a session that embraces the play of music and movement. From transitional songs that help us during those difficult times\, to songs that light up the brain and fill our hearts. Music and movement is for everyone…just need to find your own beat! \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand how music and movements stimulates whole brain development\nCreate a creative and responsive environment through music and movement\nEmbracing a playful approach to music and movement\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

Together\, we will find the calm in the chaos and remind each other that “YOU are AMAZING!” \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstanding and Identifying Stress\nTrauma\, Burnout and Compassion Fatigue\nCulturally Responsive Self-Care\nCreating an Individual Self-Care Plan\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding available to eligible participants.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
