Heartsongs of the Rainbow Music Album

“Heartsongs of the Rainbow” is the first album of its kind, created by me, a pediatric speech pathologist with the aim of uplifting, inspiring, nurturing and supporting those who need it the most, the Special Needs Community. Each song allows children the opportunity to learn and demonstrate simple physical and gestural movements as well as to vocalize with repetitive, easy-to-make sounds. Targeted at young children with special needs who have a developmental age between 2-10 years old, “Heartsongs of the Rainbow” uses positive reinforcement to encourage children to move their mouths and strengthen vocal abilities through singing and helps children find their authentic voice through the magic of song. This album may also be enjoyed by ALL CHILDREN!
Music on this album was created by Isaac and Thorald Koren of https://brotherskoren.com/voice/ during the “Singer-Songwriter’s Journey”. I sing lead vocals and wrote all the lyrics. Sound Engineer on the album: Kyle Mangels. Album Graphics: created by Michael “Miko” Bratland at: http://designforgoodpeople.com/

Available online at: Apple Music or any other digital streaming platform. Or can be purchased on Adrienne’s website.

Number Knowledge ; Learning to Read Numbers

Really big numbers
can make a kid freeze.
Their eyes get all buggy.
They shake at their knees.

They flutter and stutter
and fumble about.
They’re filled with despair
and filled with doubt.

Number Knowledge : Learning to Read Numbers breaks down the process and finds the patterns in reading big numbers. Light verse – fun graphics and pages for practice all help in the building of confidence.

CRUMMY : The Criss-Cross Rummy Game

It’s all about sets and runs. Nothing to out of the ordinary there. BUT…all sets and runs must CRISS-CROSS and always be a in group of 3 or more.​

Move them around, if you need to. First one out of cards…wins!

You can play regular Crummy – start with 7 – take 1 if you can’t play.

Or, Random Crummy (OUR FAV!) – start with 5 – roll a DIE if you can’t play.

Finally, play POINTED. Play either way but play 3 or more rounds and ADD the cards in your hand when someone goes out. The player with the fewest points when the rounds are over….WINS!​

ROUND ABOUT : A Little Thinking…a LOT of FUN!

Just get rid of the 12 – 15 cards in your pile first and you WIN!

But, how do they get to “play” one of those cards? Just play one or more of the cards in your HAND to move a token around a number wheel. If the token stops on the number of top card of your “PLAY PILE”…it plays!

It is fun, and great thinking, to look for all the possible combinations that could move the marker to the spot you need. Yea…there’s a little adding, subtracting and number sense involved. But, that makes it REALLY good for kids and families!
