Hello old and new parents! Each week Debbie and I will send you links to our blogs reporting the activities your child is doing in group time. We encourage you to look at the pictures with your child as a wonderful way to share in their day.
Central Idea:
People use sound to express feelings and thoughts
Lines of Inquiry:
Folk song games have specific forms (form)
How sounds are experienced (causation)
Environmental sounds cause certain feelings to arise (perspective)
How music and sound are used to express feelings and thoughts (perspective)
Today I gathered what the children already know about sound . . .
and they know a lot!
I grouped their ideas into the four groups that came up:
instruments, body sounds, animals sounds, things in our world
Rylan and Rielle named many instruments and animal sounds.
Oliver said he has a microphone at home that makes sound when you shake it.
Tyreese showed us two sounds he could make with his mouth
Esme knew that we listen with our ears.
Sophie knew lots of animal sounds
Here is a picture of the children playing a guessing game - can you name the sound?
Yay the blog - best part of my day! Sounds like an exciting unit of inquiry!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kieran! After a month long holiday I am well rested and rejuvenated and excited to be back. I can't think of a better bunch of people to spend my day with!
