In our continued exploration of "I See A Song" by Eric Carle, I let the children tell me the story of what they saw on the pages. A violinist enters on the first few pages, he begins to play and what results is a colourful artistic depiction of his music. As he begins he says "I see a song. I paint music. I hear colours."
The Children's Story:
The conductor is all black. There are floating rainbow balloons that turn into raindrops and fall down into the ocean. The balloons explode !!! There is a blue whale, the sun and the moon, and they are all smiling. Rainbow flowers come up and up. The conductor is filled up so now there's rainbows in him. At this point the children were excited to create their own story.
For the third and final reading of the book, we watched an
animated version of the book which is accompanied by classical music. I asked the children to paint their own song to express how they feel.
 |
| Matthews song goes "doo, foo, foo" and he feels happy a little bit. |
 |
| Paxtons song goes "hoop, shroop, hoop" and he feels silly. |
 |
| Kesler painted "lots of songs" |
 |
| Mila said "Ahhh, this is a gentle song" |
 |
| Connor giggled " Dop, Dot, Doop, and I just like it!" |
