Last week we started a new inquiry on sound. We brainstormed and listed all the sounds we hear in our daily lives, both indoors and outdoors. Our list was so long, we were surprised how many different sounds we hear everyday!
We read the book The Sounds Around Town written by Maria Carluccio.

Learning about different instruments. We read the book Zin! Zin! Zin! a Violin written by Lloyd Moss and illustrated by Marjorie Priceman.
We watched various videos of live orchestras. It was very interesting to watch the conductor and identify the different instruments. The students were fascinated with the crescendos and decrescendos in the performance.
