Sing With Our Kids
Description:Based on Nancy Stewart's two-year Sing With Our Kids pilot project for early learning through community singing; Nancy will model how to use songs and singing to create community, promote early literacy, and incorporate technology responsibly.
Attendees will be able to:
- Enhance programming with extensive free materials generated from the project including: songs and rhymes, information on early literacy, and specific tools for integrating existing library materials with those project materials.
- Plan and host multi-generational singing events both in library and community settings that provide education about the role singing plays in early literacy while building family and community
- Use project materials to raise awareness of library resources while facilitating their use across all environments of the young child’s life from home and extended family, to school and community
- Use project materials in unique ways to incorporate technology responsibly into early literacy programming and community outreach
