What Does the Fox Say

This interactive, cross-curricular bulletin board supports kindergarten standards for music and literature. 

Standards:

Music: MU.K.6 Students distinguish high and low pitches, fast and slow tempos, and loud and soft sounds. They differentiate various vocal, instrumental, and environmental sounds. They identify and demonstrate appropriate listening behavior.

Literacy: K.RF.2 Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes).

Objectives: 

Students will distinguish between high and low animal sounds.

Students will sing or speak the different fox sounds to show understanding of the different phonemes.  

Activities:

• Students begin by watching and singing along with the song "What Does the Fox Say?" by Ylvis.
• Students will then make predictions of what sounds the horse, mouse, elephant, and fox make.  They will then use a QR scanner to watch videos of those animals.
• Students will then decide which of the animals is louder and which animal makes a higher sound.
