Week 1: Listening to Sounds
This week, children listen and learn to identify sounds that make up their everyday world. They’ll discover that being in a quiet environment allows them to listen more closely and helps them tell the difference between different sounds. Children will also have many opportunities to try to identify objects by their sounds. They’ll also begin to explore volume through loud and quiet sounds.
