Why Use LMC AT SCHOOL?
Children respond to music. Their bodies are geared to be in gear!
LMC AT SCHOOL combines kids' natural curiosity of and pull toward
music with their need to be actively involved. This combination allows
a magical learning atmosphere to occur.
LMC AT SCHOOL is not a performance by the teacher where children are
merely entertained. Nor is it a stereotypical classroom environment
where kids are expected to sit still or "perform" in order
to participate. LMC At SCHOOL allows all of the children involved
to engage through their own leaning style - whether that is to join
in with unbridled gusto or to sit quietly by and watch.
Brain research shows that music and movement experiences help develop
both sides of the brain, contributing to children's social/emotional,
physical, cognitive and language development. LMC AT SCHOOL helps
teachers combine music and movement with kinesthetic crossing over activities
that offer brain-building opportunities galore. In addition, the program
builds in character building and self-control lessons while offering
natural connections to specific content areas.
LMC AT SCHOOL helps educators comply with the Texas Curriculum Guidelines
for PreKindergartners. By following the Texas Essential Knowledge
and Skills (TEKS) guidelines, teachers can better define and implement
a comprehensive curriculum. Such a curriculum helps to build connections
between subject matter disciplines by organizing the large amounts of
information children must learn into a set of meaningful concepts. Using
concepts from the guidelines, teachers can work across disciplines to
provide many opportunities for children to achieve knowledge and skills.
