Thanks so much to Mr. Rod Thomas for sharing his talents with Room 221 today! He read "Lentil" by Robert McCloskey. This is a tale of a boy who loves to play the harmonica. In fact, he helps solve a problem in his town by playing his harmonica. Turns out "Lentil" is a story that changed Mr. Thomas' life when he was a boy. It inspired him to play the harmonica himself.
Mr. Thomas actually played his harmonica for us! He showed us how to inhale and exhale to play different pitches. He even took a harmonica apart to show us the inside. We saw the reeds and the comb.
Ask your children what they liked best about playing harmonica.
