Off to the Orchestra!

Good afternoon Families!

Today we continued our discussion about orchestras and Vivaldi to get ready for our field trip on Thursday.  So exciting!  Here is the video that we watched most of: (we stopped towards the end when the teacher began speaking)

The kids were excited to share their prior experiences with these instruments.  And they were interested to note that the musicians were kids!  The other thing that they brought up many times was how many musicians there are in an orchestra.  They were curious about how some of the instruments actually work.  (as they often are, they want to know the ins and outs of things!)
I hope you enjoy watching this video with your kids and would love to hear what new things they noticed as well as what types of discussions this inspired for you at home. 

Please feel free to write you comments in to share with everyone!

Have a nice evening!  Love, Jennifer
