Mozart

Mozart's birthday is January 27th.

So we learned about him with my two-year old today.

Here is the lesson.

I showed her a picture of Mozart and asked her who it was.

I told her his name. We repeated it quite a few times.

Alisa was having a hard time with his gender. She kept calling Mozart a girl. I guess it's the hair.

Then I told her that Mozart was a composer and explained who the composer is.

I related the "writing music" part to the music she likes. I said that music to "I am a child of God" was written by a composer too.

Then we learned that Mozart was born in Austria and found it on the world map. We love Geography.

We also listened to his music (just a piano piece that I had on a CD). She couldn't handle the whole thing, but just a little bit is okay too.

The whole thing ended with a fun part - Baby Mozart.

Throughout the day we reviewed things that we learned.

1. Mozart

2. composer

3. Austria

Happy teaching, everybody!
