4th Graders are currently working on a project in Art, Music and Literacy centered around tall tales. In music class, students are adding the sound effects to accompany the tall tales written in class and the shadow puppets made in art to create a performance piece to perform in the music room. We have spent some time watching how the professionals recreate sounds for movies and television. Here are some of the videos we've watched.

We have been amazed by their work! It is giving us lots of ideas for our performaces. Students have been using the music room instruments to experiment and create the best sounds to accompany their shadow puppet plays. I can't wait to see the final production! Look for some videos after Winter Break of their amazing work!
