4th Graders Gather Sound!

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!

The lively sounds
Kyleigh F.

I hear the soft purr of my phone charging
And I hear the annoying sound of dripping water
And I also hear conversations
It sounds like a free and happy fish jumping up and down in the sea
And it sounds like a painful pop
And then I hear the leaves shouting too
I hear the wind reminding me
I hear the audience clapping cheerfully
I hear the sound of nature
And It sounds beautiful

What do you hear?

 

what I hear in school
Tavious P.

I hear an intercom
And I hear
other classes
And I also hear
choir students
It sounds like
Lincoln Loud’s house in school
And it sounds like peace when we are in our classroom
And then I hear my teacher’s computer
I hear the doors
I hear desks moving & seats
I hear the whistle to line up
It sounds like its loud but fun.

 

the day in life time
Ah’lani M.

I hear my dog crying.
And I hear the thunder hitting my house at night
And I also hear me running in grass
It sounds like scratching a pan
And it sounds idk how to explain
I hear the chickens making sounds in morning
I hear the sound of my phone ringing
And it sounds like a bee flying by like vvmmmmbbb
I hear the sound of me eating a crunchy apple
It sounds like me eating chicken

 

My sounds
Misa S.

I hear my computer keys sounds wanting me to go to sleep
And I hear my dog digging in her food
And I also hear the door open
It sounds like a nice calm sound
And it sounds like a car going vroom vroom
And then I hear the soft rain coming down
