Light and Dark (Science Starters)

Activities and experiments explain the properties of light and concepts such as shadows, refraction and how the eye works. Questions within the text motivate children to talk about the experiments to find out more. All the projects use readily available materials.

<p>The Family Folk Song Project is a brilliantly simple general music activity that bridges musical experiences at home with those at school, for the benefit of all.\nThis book includes complete instructions for The Family Folk Song Project, a class activity where every child learns a folk song from a family member and then teaches it to his or her classmates.\nThis book also includes a letter to send home to parents, in both English and Spanish. It includes examples of folk songs that Ward has collected through this activity, along with ideas about using this activity to teach musical concepts to children.\nAs music teachers, we need to provide simple, concrete opportunities for families to experience the joy of sharing music together so musical traditions can be passed on to future generations. The Family Folk Song Project is a wonderful way to accomplish this goal and help children experience lifelong connections through music.</p>
