Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!
After 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 animals to the music. Some of the students can identify the animals represented by the music.
