Secrets of Sound

Secrets of Sound It was a musical week at DaVinci! Monday It was COVID Monday! The campers made hand sanitizer and decorated their supply boxes. In the afternoon the campers learned about sound and how it travels in waves. Tuesday Today the campers learned how sound can impact them emotionally. They listened to music and created "mood" watercolors. The Juniors studied the Carnival of the Animals and pretended to be the animals in the songs. In the afternoon the campers studied echolocation.  Wednesday It was instrument day! Both classes made a variety of instruments. The Junior class also made fish puppet so that they could dance to the aquarium song from the Carnival of Animals soundtrack.  Thursday-Friday On Thursday, the campers prepared for their talent show, which was performed on Friday. Bravo, campers!

The kids got to use real crime scene tools to find and lift fingerprints off of the items in the staged crime scene. The Briefcases! The detectives have arrived!
