Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

After visiting a farm and learning about wild and domesticated animals, Gan Daled listened to "Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saens. Saint-Saens is a French composer who lived about 150 years ago. Although he was a serious composer, Saint-Saens wrote a musical joke with the writing of "Carnival of the Animals" using animals instead of people. The children had a wonderful time dramatizing different movements to the music. For more information on "Carnival of the Animals" go to: http://www.thumper.net/tlkmag/archive/mm/cofa.htm
