從美國來的Music Together是英文的音樂律動課程 Music Together 是在美國由兩位博士創立的, 以理論根據為基礎來設計整個課程, 目前在美國已經25年, 在世界各地38個國家都有Music Together, 是英文音樂律動課程, 非常國際化的課程, 全世界同步都在上同個課程, 目前是上到暑假的課, Music Together共有12套不是連續的教材, Bongos, Bells, Triangle, Fiddle,Drum,Tambourine, Flute, Sticks, Maracas還有3套暑假精選, 教材包含ㄧ本書和2片ㄧ樣的CD (ㄧ片可以讓家長們在家裡放,ㄧ片可以讓家長在車上放), 所以在任何季節都可以隨時加入 Music Together. Music Together 讓小寶貝可以體驗不同的歌曲,有歌是有歌詞,有歌是沒有歌詞, 有不同的節奏, 不同的旋律, 所以在ㄧ堂課當中, 小寶貝可以ㄧ次體驗到歌曲,節奏,韻律12首不同的歌, 只有Hello song, Goodbye song每次課都ㄧ樣, 其他歌曲都是不一樣的. 小寶貝ㄧ開始會比較傾向觀察環境, 所以此時父母在課程的參與變的很重要, 父母唱歌,跳舞, 小寶貝就會跟著想要模仿, 通常會到第4或5堂課才會開始在課程上有互動, 所以回家或在車上時要常放CD讓小寶貝聽,熟悉Music Together的音樂, 這樣上課時會變的比較有共鳴, 而且可以讓小寶貝體驗不同歌曲的風格. 可以加入我們Facebook的粉絲頁 Music Together by Stella

If you’re like most parents, intelligence is probably at the top of your list. We all want bright, smart children, which is why we spend so much time choosing the right schools and making sure teachers are exceeding expectations. But remember: as a parent, you have the power to boost your children's learning potential simply by making books an integral part of their lives. We all know reading to our kids is a good thing—but are you familiar with the specific advantages your toddler or preschool-age child can receive by being exposed to the merits of reading? Below are some benefits that highlight the importance of reading to your child between the ages of two and five. A stronger relationship with you. As your child grows older, he’ll be on the move—playing, running, and constantly exploring his environment. Snuggling up with a book lets the two of you slow down and recaptures that sweet, cuddly time you enjoyed when he was a baby. Instead of being seen as a chore or a task, reading will become a nurturing activity that will bring the two of you closer together. Academic excellence. One of the primary benefits of reading to toddlers and preschoolers is a higher aptitude for learning in general. Numerous studies have shown that students who are exposed to reading before preschool are more likely to do well in all facets of formal education. After all, if a student struggles to put together words and sentences, how can he be expected to grasp the math, science, and social concepts he’ll be presented with when he begins elementary school? Basic speech skills. Throughout toddlerhood and preschool, your child is learning critical language and enunciation skills. By listening to you read One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, your child is reinforcing the basic sounds that form language. “Pretend reading”—when a toddler pages through a book with squeals and jabbers of delight—is a very important pre-literacy activity. As a preschooler, your child will likely begin sounding out words on his own. The basics of how to read a book. Children aren’t born with an innate knowledge that text is read from left to right, or that the words on a page are separate from the images. Essential pre-reading skills like these are among the major benefits of early reading. Better communication skills. When you spend time reading to toddlers, they’ll be much more likely to express themselves and relate to others in a healthy way. By witnessing the interactions between the characters in the books you read, as well as the contact with you during story time, your child is gaining valuable communication skills. Mastery of language. Early reading for toddlers has been linked to a better grasp of the fundamentals of language as they approach school age. More logical thinking skills. Another illustration of the importance of reading to children is their ability to grasp abstract concepts, apply logic in various scenarios, recognize cause and effect, and utilize good judgment. As your toddler or preschooler begins to relate the scenarios in books to what’s happening in his own world, he’ll become more excited about the stories you share. Acclamation to new experiences. As your child approaches a major developmental milestone or a potentially stressful experience, sharing a relevant story is a great way to help ease the transition. For instance, if your little one is nervous about starting preschool, reading a story dealing with this topic shows her that her anxiety is normal. Enhanced concentration and discipline. Toddlers may initially squirm and become distracted during story time, but eventually they’ll learn to stay put for the duration of the book. Along with reading comprehension comes a stronger self-discipline, longer attention span, and better memory retention, all of which will serve your child well when she enters school. The knowledge that reading is fun! Early reading for toddlers helps them view books as an indulgence, not a chore. Kids who are exposed to reading are much more likely to choose books over video games, television, and other forms of entertainment as they grow older. Books have the power to benefit toddlers and preschoolers in a myriad of ways. As a parent, reading to your child is one of the most important things you can do to prepare him with a foundation for academic excellence.

小孩子小時候就帶他們去聽故事真的好處多多 我覺得我自己就覺得對April的幫助很大 平常沒事就念書給家中的小寶貝聽吧 連結的文章是這樣說的 聽英文說故事對小孩的好處 1.結合圖片(視覺的)和聲音(聽覺的)來幫助語言的學習 2. 有機會教小朋友如何輪流和分享 3.增加聽力和注意力的技巧 4.鼓勵早期的讀寫能力和音韻的認知 出自於以下的連結 http://www.pollyestherchildcare.com/2009/04/early-childhood-education-benefits-of.html Story time? Is my child old enough? Will my child sit through it? Well-the answer is yes. Story-time is a time and place where one could bring their children to hear stories, through conversations and music, books and flannel stories. As a preschool teacher all of this can and should be done at your center/ location. As a daycare provider; caregiver or parent; one can go to their local library and participate. The story times are offered by age group and are catered for children of that age range. The best way to get involved is by going on the Internet and google story time/library. Story time at the local library lasts twenty minutes and is followed by play. Where the Liberian brings out toys, puzzles for the children and parents to participate. The purpose is to encourage social interacion between the children and caregivers. Benefits of Storytime integrates visual (pictures and words) with auditory (spoken words) to facilitate language learning provides opportunities for turn taking increases listening and attending skills encourages early literacy skills and phonological awareness "Children not only learn word meanings from listening to adults read to them, but through conversations with them. During these exchanges, children will often hear adults repeat words several times. They may also hear new and interesting words that stick out to them. The more oral language experiences children have, the more word meanings they learn."

好友Julia寫在FB給我的

我的大學同學因為昨天參加朋友的求婚晚餐 忽然有的感想 她說她ㄧ直很喜歡我們家的感覺 寫的讓我很感動 踏入婚姻後 其實又是另ㄧ個階段的開始 其實我個人是覺得辛苦的 新手媽媽在美國帶小孩 慢慢領悟出帶小孩的方法 謝謝她寫的這段文章 讓我可以重新看到我所擁有 珍惜我所擁有的 以下是她寫的 大學裡有個好友，我再還來不及真真正正認識她以前，就因為一升二轉戰新聞系的關係，讓這段友誼暫時停歇，一直到臉書在台灣徹底流行起來後，我們才透過朋友的串連，再次有了一些交集。 輾轉之間，我知道她出了國，在美國念書、工作，也認識了從事設計的另一半，並順利擁有可愛的孩子，而這一家人和樂融融的畫面，就常常停留在我臉書的頁面上。 事實上在我這個年紀，有很多的朋友都有很好的家庭歸宿，但這一家人的照片，好像是我心目中美滿的家庭理想典範，常常浮現在我心頭。因為我很嚮往這位太太的活力四射；也很欣賞先生對於美學的執著，更喜歡她們可愛的孩子那無邪的笑容。 以前她們一家人還在紐約生活的時候，我常常看著她們一家人跑遍紐約市馬拉松的照片，有幾次看著太太推著娃娃車，一起和小小的April抬起頭在終點站等著爸爸跑到終點站的那個畫面，那種幸福洋溢的場景，著實地震懾了我。我也很喜歡她們總是會在天空放晴的時候，帶著心愛的女兒，一起在凱莉也時常出現的中央公園裡野餐的畫面。 兩年前，CoCo剛在紐約展店的時候，我真的也很認真的想著，或許有機會，我可以抽空到紐約度個假，看看我這位多年不見的好朋友，不過在我還來不及去紐約看看她們的時候，這家人又舉家遷回台南，決定重新定居在台南這個樸實的小城市。太太開始經營了親子英文唱遊與故事班，先生一如繼往的，從事他最喜歡的設計工作；而小小的April，一樣頑皮而淘氣地在爸爸媽媽的愛中長大。透過臉書那一張張充滿故事的照片，讓我這個即使從來沒見過April的人，都可以想像小小April那如同四月銀鈴般可愛的笑聲。 這一年，我的生活裡有了些轉變，上海台北兩頭跑，我在上海，為了工作而努力著，回台北，是為了讓我有繼續在上海打拼的一點點慰藉，在松山與虹橋之間，我為了生活而流浪著，有點不大確定到底哪邊是家？哪邊才是最後的終點。然而這家人的畫面，好像就是我心目中想要建構的那個畫面。 Stella, you have already own the most important and priceless thing. I’m so happy for you. Julia
