We began our morning by designing and creating with loose parts at table and the light table. Other students used an old box that we painted red and played with dinosaurs and other animals. They used the box as a mountain/volcano! Other friends made books at the art table and created animals out of clay. Some students played Candy Land!
We had a special surprise from Ms. Katie! She came into the classroom today with her guitar and played some songs for us! The class listened to some of her songs and sang along to other songs, such as "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The students had a lot of questions for Katie about her guitar. Some questions were:
How does the guitar make noise?
What are those things at the top of the guitar? Why do you twist them?
Why is there a hole in the guitar?
Why do you move your fingers on the strings?
Ms. Katie showed the students how the sound changes when she moves her fingers up and down the strings and neck of the guitar. The students figured out that the sound came out of the hole of the guitar and they got a chance to strum the instrument! One student reminded the class of the instruments we made a few weeks ago. They started to notice the differences in Ms. Katie's guitar and our classroom guitar. Some kids mentioned how our classroom guitar does not have a neck or a hole. We talked about changing our guitar to make it look more like Ms. Katie's guitar.
After our musical guest visited our room, we went outside to play and enjoy the weather. Have a great Monday!
