1st Grade Spring Music Concert

Spring Music Concert

O.K. So I know I've been a little behind. I have many author's chair videos to post and I will work on those over the next few days.
It was good to see all of the parents this morning at our 1st Grade Spring Music Concert. The students have been working so hard all year long with Mrs. McQuillan. She has done a wonderful job teaching all the students to play the boom whackers and learn about their singing voices. I love the songs they sing and always catch myself singing along during music time.
I hope you were able to make it. If not, I took a few pictures of the 1st grades and made a little slide show.


I also want to thank Diago's mom, Kim for coming into our room and sharing "learning landscapes" with our class. The students were able to design a dream playground. The students worked together in groups and came up with a theme for the "learning landscape." The students had a blast coming up with very creative ideas for their ideal school yard. Today Kim presented our class with a poster that showcased our work. She was able to send a copy for me to post on our blog. Thanks Kim!

I hope to visit with all the parents next week during Parent-Teacher Conferences. Don't forget the kiddos are out of school at 12:00 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Check back soon for the author's chair videos.
