Abstract: |
Music and movement experiences are frequently used with young children to develop early literacy, early math concepts, gross and fine motor skills, cooperation, turn taking skills, and concept development. Use of these activities allows children to express their creativity and use their constant energy in a positive way. Early Childhood teachers use music and movement activities in a variety of ways throughout the day, from concept time to transitions. These music and movement activities, while paramount in typical Early Childhood programs, are all but nonexistent in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Programs. How do we teach Nursery Rhymes to Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children? Can we replicate that learning potential by using Handshape poems and visually accessible means? What kinds of music and movement activities easily translate into visual language for use in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Programs? This session will provide support for use of music and movement activities, demonstrate how they align with the curriculum, and provide opportunities for participants to create music and movement activities that will enhance Deaf and Hard of Hearing Programs. |
