Sound Travels #1 - What We Know About Sounds

 As the Water group gathered this week, I asked them: "What are sounds?" Everyone looked at me, puzzled and shook their heads. So I asked them another question: "What can your ears do?" Alfie answered: "You listen with it! And you can hear things!" Immediately, everyone started to list things that they can hear. Allye can hear a mouse go squeak, squeak. Molly can hear the cars go by outside. Angela can hear singing. Theo can hear music. What a great way to practice communication skills! I let them know that all the wonderful ideas they shared were a form of sound and they were a little surprised by that piece of information.  After, the group brainstormed and drew pictures of their ideas  about sounds.
