We had our first little snow fall this morning!! We only had a sprinkling of snow but what a mess it created!!! It reminded me that we have not talked this semester about weather delays, cancellations, etc.
We follow the school district closings in the district that the classes are held. Classes in Kettering follow the Kettering City schools, classes in Mason follow the Mason City Schools, and classes in Beavercreek follow the Beavercreek City Schools. If the schools are on a delay classes will run as scheduled. If we cancel a class due to illness or weather - we will make up the class. Usually that make-up day comes at the end of the semester unless you are able to make up the class on another day.
Check your local TV station for closings. Usually the closings will be on the TV until around 9am. You can also check the TV websites. Usually the school districts will have it on their own website as well. Ms. Kim will also put any cancellations on her phone message - 937-367-6732. Please feel free to call if you have any questions about your class.
If you feel that the weather or roads are too bad for you to attend you are more than welcome to make up your class on another day and/or in another location. Just contact your teacher about make-up classes.
I hope that "snow days" will come on days that we do not have Kindermusik classes!!!

Winter/Spring 2010 classes now on-line
The Winter/Spring 2010 class sessions are now on-line and open for enrollment in the Kettering and Beavercreek locations. The Mason classes will be on-line soon. As many of you know we had to change locations in Mason. The Mason Fine Arts buiding sold this fall and we had to make a quick change of locations. Ms. Jackie and I would like to say THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! to our wonderful Mason parents!!! Our parents and children were very patient during this transition time! Ms. Jackie really misses the Mason Fine Arts Center - she was spoiled by having all her instruments and materials in one location and one room. Ms. Jackie is back to the world of rolling suitcases to move her instruments to and from classes. The exercise is good for her!!! We are working on a Winter/Spring schedule with the Heritage Presbyterian Church for the Winter session as well as another location!!! Ms. Jackie is exicted about the new location. More information will follow once we have the schedule finalized!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
The holidays are fast approaching!! Are you looking for a new gift for your child or are the grandparents looking for a new gift idea!! Kimberly's Kindermusik offers Gift Certificates!! What a great gift for your child or the child in your life!!! Contact Kim for more details!

Music Nutures Premature Babies
An increasing amount of evidence shows that hospitals that play music to premature babies help them grow and thrive. The benefits are said to be calmer infants and parents as well as faster weight gain and shorter hospital stays. A Canadian team reviewed nine studies and found music reduced pain and encouraged better oral feeding.

KINDERMUSIK SIGN & SING: EARLY COMMUNICATION
Kindermusik Sign & Sing: Early Communication
Age Range: 6 months to 3 years
Class Length: 45 minutes
From the moment you met him, you want to understand your baby. What is he thinking? Is he hungry, tired, too cold, content? Early on your baby also has an innate desire to communicate with you.
In a Kindermusik Sign & Sing class (developed by Signing Smart™), we give you the tools and knowledge to communicate with each other using American Sign Language. Through songs and play, you’ll both learn signs for words like “mommy” and “eat,” and you’ll know if he wants “more” “milk” and when he’s “all done.” This research-proven signing class for hearing children speeds language development, eases frustration, and enhances long-term learning abilities.
What you’ll experience in class:
You’ll play, sign, and sing. Using everyday items in engaging small and large group activities, we’ll sing songs and practice the sign as we say the words, play with toys, and help her learn both the spoken word and the sign.
Expert advice. You’ll learn to spot your baby’s most “teachable moments” and the sign language teaching methods of the experts. Plus you’ll learn to recognize and respond to your child’s versions of signs.
Communication through sign language. When your child is chasing a bubble or asking for the ball, you’ll make the sign for it and say the word. So she has the ways to associate the word with the object: she holds the ball, she hears you say the word, and she sees you make the sign.
Enrollment includes:
Developmentally appropriate American Sign language curriculum for parents and hearing children, ages 6 months to 3 years
10 week semester
Weekly 45 minute class
Two sets of At Home Materials—one for each five-week theme—each includes a Family Activity Guide, DVD, and Clip-On Flashcards showing adults and children using signs
Over 75 sign language activities and games to play together
Kimbelry's Kindermusik class schedule:
Kettering - Monday 10:30am - 11:15am
Centerville - Friday 10:30am - 11:15am
Mason - Thursday 10:30am - 11:15am
