RADIO VISIT!!

One early morning in November, I heard on a local radio station that they were asking local businesses to help collect food for the Food Bank.  I called right away to request a box because this fit in perfectly with our Community unit.  In October, we focused on working together and helping each other in the classroom, and in November, we focused on our Community outside of our classroom.  We worked all month on how our Community helps us and how we can help our Community.  We collected food for a week and then arranged to go on a field trip to the radio station to bring our food box and participate in the festivities.

We are waiting sooo patiently....

We had a special snack....

And we got to go into a real radio recording booth!! 

We sang our turkey song...5 Fat Juicy Turkeys and it got recorded.

Then we got to listen to ourselves singing; first how it sounded...

Then, we got to hear our voices sound like chipmunks; low; slow...

And backwards!!

Here we are posing for a picture before going on the air live in a different booth.  We were so excited to be able to visit our local radio station, have a tour, and be able to have our voices recorded and be on air live!!!  Radio stations help us learn about news and weather, local events, and play music for our listening pleasure!
