CITIES! BUSY PLACES~FRIENDLY FACES

WEEK 6

Dear Imagine That! Parent:

Listening with intention was a strong focus of today’s class. I’m sure you recognize the importance of being able to focus on and attend to sounds—vocal and otherwise. This ability can affect our everyday life in many ways: attending to conversation, listening for directions, enjoying the sounds of nature, recognizing sounds of caution, etc.

Today we listened to a song in French, to the sounds a bicycle makes, and to several different city sounds. In the City Square Listening Game, we listened to two different sounds at one time and determined what they were. You can play this listening game at home by cutting out the last page of your Family Activity Book and listening to your Home CD 1, track 24. Match the pictures to the sounds you hear!

P.S. Be sure to read Family Activity #6 for ideas of ways your child can make an original city statue. Bring your child’s work of art to class next week to display!
