Kindergarten Echoes

This week in Kindergarten music we read a story called "Happy Birthday, Moon" by Frank Asch. In this story, Bear decides that he wants to give the moon a birthday present, so he goes up to the top of the mountains to ask the moon what he wants for his birthday. When bear starts talking to the moon, he thinks that the moon is talking back to him, but all he is really hearing is his own echo! "What do you want for your birthday?" said bear. "What do you want for your birthday?" said the moon. 

The students loved listening to this story and we had a great talk about what an echo really is. Then, we sang and echo song "Sing After Me." Here is a video of Elmo and Ernie singing this fun song!
