Preparing For Peter and the Wolf

Today Jason prepared the children for the Peter and the Wolf performance during music class. Jason introduced the children to the characters of the story and the instruments that would be representing each character. The children listened to the sounds of each instrument that they would hear and this activity helped the children have a better sense of what to expect in tomorrow's performance. Retuning to our classroom, the children were excited about the trip and we continued our conversation about Peter and the Wolf. The children confidently recalled details of what Jason had gone over in class . They identified all of the characters as well as the instruments that they would be playing. We used Alicia's iPad to look at photographs of the instruments and this visual was very helpful for the children to make a connection between the word of an instrument and its image. We are all excited to be going with our Lower School friends on this very wonderful trip celebrating the arts!
