Snow! It sure is beautiful, but it's cold out there...makes me think about building a snowman. I only wish we had enough snow for that. VISUALIZING is an important part your literacy lessons, but it is also an important part of music! When you visualize you create pictures in your head of what you are reading. We can do the same thing with listening to music. Sometimes the music paints a beautiful picture for you, but even more exciting is that sometimes music can add WORDS to a story, even when there are none. Today we will try visualizing, but a little differently! We will hear the music and we will see the artwork, but we will use those tools to figure out what the story is. Please watch the video below, "The Snowman". It is a wonderful, magical, wintery story. Enjoy it!
The Snowman was a beautiful story filled with all the best things that winter has to bring...snow, snowmen, and magic. The sequel (continuation of the story) is called "The Snowman and the Snowdog". The music and illustrations are equally as beautiful, and the story may even make you cry.
