Listen Move Think! Establishing Routines

This is an app for you and your children, designed to help you help them master the routines they will need to be successful and engaged in creative movement and music activities.

Listen, Move, Think! Establishing Routines will provide you with daily activities and music so that you can establish creative movement routines in your classroom or home. Designed and developed specifically for classroom teachers and parents who want to include creative movement activities for their children but are not confident about their musical skills. This app takes all the guesswork out of “what to do” and “how to do it” so that you and your children can enjoy music and movement.

Listen, Move, Think! Establishing Routines is part of a series of apps that will support your professional development in approaching intelligent, creative, and logical conversations with your children from the context of music and movement. Thinking critically isn’t about memorizing facts, it’s about mentally playing with ideas. If you want your children to think more critically and logically, this app is where you should begin.
