Sunny Bee Music Teacher Workshop
Let’s face it, these are trying times for teachers. We love what we do, but the Struggle is Real.
Kids are having a hard time managing their emotions and controlling their impulses.
Did you know that preschoolers are expelled from school at a rate higher than those expelled from grades k-12 combined?
But what if there was a fun and engaging way to help students learn how to self regulate?
The Sunny Bee Music Teacher Workshop provides teachers with music and movement activities specifically designed to help young learners enhance their self regulation skills.
Self regulation is the foundation.
When children are able to self regulate, they do better in school and have an easier time forming relationships with their peers and teachers.
Happy self regulated kids = happy self regulated teachers. It’s a win-win.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for anyone who works with young children, including:
- preschool teachers
- day care workers
- family day care owners
- homeschooling parents
- parenting/playgroups.
During this 90 minute workshop, you’ll:
- Explore the characteristics of self regulation, what it looks like, and the benefits of being able to self regulate.
- Participate in engaging musical activities that you can implement as soon as the next day.
- Receive a handout containing all the content from the workshop as well as brainstorming exercises.
