Have you ever stopped to notice how much sound is going on in the world, all at once?
4th Graders at Shoesmith contemplated thoughtfully the sounds of our world. We talked about favorite sounds and attempted to name sounds that may be hard to locate in a dictionary. While teachers spoke of enjoying hearing their home coffee makers sputtering and gurgling in the morning, students said that they enjoyed hearing people eating, puppies crying, and ocean waves crashing against the shore – among other things. As you read this sampling of the Sound Poems, try making your own list of sounds: favorites and all the others!
