Just Some Fun...

We had our first mystery reader this past week.  The children loved having a guest come in and read a story to them...I think they were very excited that it was someone different than me for once :)  I am looking forward to having a lot more mystery readers coming in over the next few weeks.  If you are interested please let me know.  You can email or call the school and leave me a message 943-6929.  I will get back with you as soon as I can to set up a time.

We also read "Zin, Zin, Zin a Violin" this past week and learned about sound.  We also completed an art project with making a violin using tissue paper and water.  The children loved this project.  Monday will be the culmination of our sound theme with using various instruments to create our own orchestra!  It should be a lot of fun!

Our Audiologist Visit...

Last Thursday and Friday we had Mrs. Stephanie Lockhart from UC Health come to the classroom and discuss hearing and sound.  We had a wonderful time learning about how sound produces vibrations for our ears to hear.  We also made a kazoo out of a comb and wax paper.  We also learned there are three things you can do to help your ears: turn down the volume, cover your ears, or walk away!  If you did not ask your child about the visit, please ask your child about something they learned.  I was very appreciative of Stephanie coming into the classroom to talk about hearing and sound!
