Today we enjoyed the air conditioning!!!  Many classes played with our ribbon streamers to "Galop" by Kabalevsky.  The kids really enjoyed it.

Mrs. Moore's and Miss Vasilakos' students had their "show and tell" this morning.  They performed "Chinese New Year" with Orff instruments, did a stretchy band routine to Bizet, played their favorite recorder pieces, and played "Whacky Spring Fever" on their boomwhackers. Great job, kids!

Tomorrow is a half day and we are done!  I'll be updating this summer with all new ideas for the fall.  HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!

Here we go!

Well, it's a day and a half away from the end of school and what am I doing?  Updating my links on my website and finally diving into the world of blogging.  I've always LOVED writing, so I'm hoping this is yet another way of keeping my students and their parents informed with what's going on at Orenda!

There are two more in-class performances left our third grades tomorrow.  I'm really looking forward to it.  The first three classes had a great time showcasing for their parents what we do in the music classroom.

I'm also looking forward to seeing those busses off the busport on Thursday at 11:30!  It's been a great year but it's time for Mrs. W to take "a long summer's nap."  Ha ha!
