[CASL-L] makey makey

[Jenny Lussier]

Hi Laura -
I just used them yesterday with my grade 2s.

For our first time, we look at how to connect them and talk about what is
happening.

Then I have small groups go to the bongos and/or classic piano and practice
clipping wires to the various spots and then holding the ground to make it
work. They are funny because the other kids not holding the ground always
try and are surprised when it doesn't work.

I bring in a bunch of stuff for them to try: coins, tin foil, playdough,
various foods and they start to see what will work and what won't.

Have fun!!!
Jenny
