Week1: What Do the Children Know About Sound?

Where does sound come from?  The children were very attuned to the sounds they could make with their bodies.  Mouth strumming, cheek popping, tongue clicking, singing, feet stomping, hands clapping.  But where else do we hear sounds?  Paxton said we hear sounds from the radio, Cameron replied "that's not sound that's music!"  And with that I asked, well what makes music?  The children said that instruments and singing make music.   In the next eight weeks, we will be exploring sound, music, and how we can express our feelings through sound and music.


Kesler made small sounds by sticking his tongue out

Matthew was particularly fond of "tap dancing" and singing.

Cameron said sound is from the radio, trains,  airplanes, birds.  "I can clap my hands and my feet to make sounds."
