I tried something with the kindergartners: I showed them how to represent 3 sounds on paper using the Note Knacks, instead of just one. For this group of kids, I think I overwhelmed some of them. Most of them got it, but, as expected, those few that have issues had a hard time. The interesting thing was that they understood the concept of tracing the sound, but not that you couldn't put one sound on top of another. There needs to be space in between like writing words. How similar writing music is to writing words and how seldom we make that connection for kids.
Question of the day: why don't we, as a school faculy, work better together so that we can help children make the necessary connections in their learning?
