GUEST MUSICIANS and THE RETURN OF ROSE!

Madeleine shows us the notes that she reads.

Thank you to Carl's brother, Axel, and sister, Madeleine, for coming to morning meeting to play the violin and keyboard, respectively.  
Axel - I am seven so I have been doing it for 3 years.
Carl started the violin in the fall with a broken arm.  His violin was the smallest that we've ever seen!
Madeleine will play Christmas carols at a retirement home in December.  Sasha said that one year when they did the Santa Lucia, Axel played the violin and Madeleine sang and played the piano.

SOUND PAINTINGS

Friends are busy exploring sounds in the classroom, school and church.  While listening to these sound recordings, we're asking them to interpret the sound through painting.  Today we listened to a whistling sound.  See the children's words below.

Prater - I'm painting a mouse.

Grace - These are the wings of the bird.
Grace makes singing sound and paints the whistling coming from the bird's mouth.

Maya said the whistle reminded her of a bird.
Maya - I’m painting a birdie.  I’m already done with the bird and now I’m painting the fire.
Joci - Could you paint a whistle sound coming from the bird?
Maya makes the sound.
Maya - That little tee-tee-tee. (pointing to the mouth of the bird).

​Rose - This is the sound of the wind.  I need more colors.
