Craft Lesson 1

Read Buzz to a Kindergarten class. Discuss the different morning sounds, and objects that made these sounds.

Extend this by allowing students to add other sounds they might experience or have experienced during their busy mornings. Some of these might include the school bus honking when it picks them up, bacon sizzling, parents waking you, roosters (when visiting Grandma at the farm), whatever they suggest is a valid response.

Allow students to choose to draw a picture of what makes the sound, write a story about the object and the sound it makes, or record the sound and then tell a story about where they heard, or could hear, the sound.

I like your idea of recording the sound they make. Then, they could eventually report back to the classroom and actually play the sound for everyone to hear. Good idea!! Tell Jonathan I said hello!!
