Last Day of National Poetry Month

As the month of April ends and so does National Poetry Month in the U.S. we wanted to share this collaborative effort from Reading Rainbow. For the first time ever, they have combined a number of responses from their fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter – and have crafted a community poem, themed: Dare to Read!

Watch the video below to hear LeVar Burton read part of this brand new Reading Rainbow Community Poem.

We’d love to hear from the Kindermusik Community.

Please, share your comments below on why you and your children love to read – or perhaps, your favorite book from Kindermusik class!

Kindermusik Community Updates

For all our Kindermusik families…

We are now making it easier for all Kindermusik communities to come together and learn from each other by combining our blog communities! Kindermusik has multiple brands across the globe. For better collaboration, we will now communicate through 1 blog:

Minds on Music is the Official Blog of Kindermusik International.

We welcome our communities from:

ABC Music & Me - Early Literacy and Language CurriculumABC Music & Me – Kindermusik’s early childhood music curriculum. Staying current with research on early literacy and language development, we share these findings with our community and continue to incorporate into our curriculum. As many schools, childcare centers, head start programs, special needs programs, after-school programs, and others use ABC Music & Me, we continue to see positive results as we help children learn through music.

ABC English & Me - Teaching English to Children through MusicABC English & Me – our ELL (English Language Learning) curriculum. We’ll continue to share exciting stories from around the world of children learning English through music. Our community of bilingual children and families continue to grow so we’ll keep sharing ELL resources, tips, research and inspiration!

Kindermusik Green - SustainabilityKindermusik Green – our approach to Sustainability. We believe in making a better future for our children, not only by empowering children to learn through music, but also through sustainable practices. We’ll share tips, stories, and action items we take as a company to promote a Green future; teaching kids, families, and educators how to incorporate sustainability into their lives.
