"I Can See A Song" has inspired our activity for today, creating art and making music at the same time. I attached jingle bells and shakers to paint brushes and watched as the children "painted music." We took a picture walk through the book one last time and the children listened to some classical music. Once I handed then their musical painting tools, and here is what I observed:
Francine joined the group a bit later, so she had a chance to observe how to use the jingle bell and shaker paint brushes. She said that "it was too noisy and loud- not nice music." She was very careful and precise with her brushes so as not to "make any noise." She requested her own piece of paper and this is what she created:

| The more shaking, the more sound, the more rigorously they painted. |
