Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Young children will gain benefit of exposure to music and movement as it relates to early literacy skills.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Comments from hosting librarians: Daniel was a great teacher--really nice to have a male voice for a change. Kids really seemed to begin to understand the concept of keeping a steady beat with the rhythm sticks today. Amanda was a great instructor; brought out everything: guitar, scarves, rhythm sticks, egg shakers. Lots of participation. The family day care kids stayed focused despite less supervision. MacPhail instructors are really tuned in to the children.
