Sound Travels: Expressing Feelings

Line of Inquiry:
Music is used to express feelings and thoughts

The summative activity at the end of this unit will have the children create a piece of music expressing their idea. They will need to understand that songs have form, we explored this concept today with Daddy Loves the Bear

In this song game the children take turns holding and expressing love to the bear while we sing.

Daddy loves the bear
Daddy loves the bear
Daddy loves the bear and takes it everywhere.

The form for the song is
