In this Read-Along lesson, Gabrielle sets sail with her aunt—the captain of a tugboat—and discovers how the sights and sounds on the bay can help boats find their way. The lesson includes a short exercise where students get moving by pretending to be boats. You can extend the lesson with the optional activity, Navigating by Sights and Sounds, where students play games to practice listening for sound cues.

Sound Cups
In this game, each student gets a cup that make noise when shaken. By listening carefully to each other’s cups, each student can find their sound partner — the person with the cup that makes the same sound as theirs. When everyone has found their sound partner, they can peek inside to see what’s been making the noise.
