WHAT ARE WE LEARNING IN CLASS?

Language and Movement: Pairing language with movement sets the stage for cognitive and kinesthetic learning. The right hemisphere of the brain is our emotional side where much of our creativity is channeled. The left hemisphere organizes logical skills, such as language. When children are engaged in movements determined by the lyrics, the brain automatically cross references both hemispheres, mapping creativity and logic. (Fishburne, G. 1988).
