The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Written by: Eric Carle We read this classic to introduce ourselves to our new unit in music all about storytelling. We then watched this video in which music has masterfully been added to this story to elevate the story and heighten emotion. What a perfect way to start our unit. |
What A Wonderful World
Based on song as sung by: Louis Armstrong Given the current state of affairs with the COVID-19 pandemic at large we were unfortunately unable to get to this book. This book was meant to help us continue our music and storytelling unit. It helps us to understand that as much as music can be used to heighten emotion, music is also a beautiful to tell our own story without the necessity of words. |
