Book: Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae
We had several opportunities today to use our bodies and voices to portray emotions and our own thoughts! We started our morning by listening to the audible version of Giraffes Can't Dance. We made faces and moved our bodies to the action words and musical sounds. We were happy, sad, silly, dancing, scared, swaying, looking, and stretching. |
After our story, two CHS video production and journalism students came into our room to interview children for a Greyhound Exclusive Television segment (the morning show for CHS). Their names were Katie and Julia. They asked the children questions about love and what it meant.
We ended our morning sharing a visit with Roxane and Renita, from Metro Theater. The children were able to explore emotion, through voice and body, and pretend to be animals. Renita read us the story Tippy, Tippy, Pat, by Candace Fleming and invited the children to pretend to act out the feelings of the farmer in the book. The farmer was so frustrated and sad, because the little bunnies kept munching on his carrots! He built many structures to keep them out, but in the end he shares the carrots and that made him happy.
