Anna will be in the area for just a few days so this will be her first and possibly only performance in the Roaring Fork Valley this year. She plans to do songs in Picture Book form, finger plays and lap songs, and some songs using rhythm instruments. This program is open to all children, including daycares and preschools.

Join us at the Gordon Cooper Branch Library as Chelsea Bridges from the Aspen Camp of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing shows parents how they can teach their children to communicate wants and needs before they can verbalize them. This series of three 30 minute classes aims to decrease frustration between parents and babies.  Use of these methods has been shown to enhance literacy later in life.

During Baby Sign Class, you and your child will learn how to communicate with each other through a variety of simple signs taught during games, dancing, and storytelling.
