SoundKids (Pre-school classrooms of 3 and 4 year-olds)
4 or 8 week sessions

The mission of the SoundKids Program is to expose 3- and 4- year old students to experiences and activities that improve understanding and aid development of scientific inquiry skills necessary as children encounter their world in and out of school. SoundWaters goal is to give pre-school students the tools that will improve their performance in elementary school and beyond.

On classroom days, thematic, science lessons begin with a story and group discussion introducing the days topic and activities, and end with a short summation to remind the pre-schoolers how the morning’s activities link together with a theme. The middle ½-hour portion of the 50-minute session is comprised of three teacher-guided, science activities (SoundWaters educators and pre-school teachers), followed by teacher and student-participatory clean-up time.

Field trips will begin with a SoundWaters Educator meeting the preschool class at the footbridge to Cove Island, leading them on a 45-minute, explorative outdoor habitat walk, followed by a 45-minute indoor, hands-on animal program.
