### Kindergarten 'Abenteuerland' in Kaltenwestheim: A Celebration of Music and Community
The small town of Kaltenwestheim recently witnessed a lively spectacle as Kindergarten 'Abenteuerland' took to the stage, showcasing their unique approach to early childhood education. The event, held on the first weekend of July, was marked by the presence of 22 children and 3 educators, accompanied by the Mittelsdorf fair society and the Mittelsdorfer women's choir "Mittendrin".
The star performers of the day were Emily Baumeier, Lena Hübner, and Lora El-Chami, who recited rhymes in Low German using new handheld microphones and a speaker, purchased from the donation funds of the Mittelsdorf women's choir. The children danced and sang funny songs about the Rhön and Mittelsdorf villages, creating a joyful atmosphere on stage that resonated with the audience.
The performance was not just a display of the children's talents but also a testament to the value that 'Abenteuerland' places on music education. Music is deeply ingrained in their curriculum, with collective music-making, singing, and enthusiasm being actively encouraged. The educators accompanied the performance with guitars, adding to the melodious mix.
The Mittelsdorf fair society's participation added to the enthusiastic applause from the audience, with Dietrich Mang leading the children as their fair marshal. The audience responded with amused calls and loud applause, appreciating the clear understanding and great amusement the rhymes brought.
The new technology, a recent acquisition from the kindergarten's support association, proved to be a valuable addition, allowing the children to project their voices effectively and adding a modern touch to the traditional rhymes. Willy Heim and Luca Kirchner from the world discoverers group played on colorful Cajons during the performance, further enhancing the rhythmic element.
