Group Time Sept. 20

Line of Inquiry: How sounds are created and heard

Ears Hear!

The children know they have ears. Who else has ears? Using books the children researched and looked for ears and discovered that some animals had ears they could see and some didn't. They practiced sharing their research by telling the person beside them.


Everyone had an opportunity to choose a set of ears: human, cat, dog, and rabbit, and attach them to headbands



 Our ears catch sounds in the air. To illustrate this the children tried "sound catchers". Looks of surprise spread quickly as the children heard their own voices as they echoed "Hello . . . hello . . . hello!"

    I love how we can read about our kids on your blogs. My daughter has been applying what she learnt outside of daycare. She's been listening to her echo in an underground park lot and whispering to her brother. WT

    Thanks for the comment! I love hearing about how the children connect what they're learning at school to their home experiences! This feedback is so helpful in my planning.
