Attention 3rd Grade parents:
Recorders were purchased in november. I am no longer able to make purchases for the school year. If your child lost or broke his/her recorder, I am not able to replace it. You may purchase one at the Music shoppe (next to TJ MAXX)
upcoming field trip:
April 17, 9:30am Puffer and spencer-tanner to Young People's concert "carnival of the animals"
Thank you to parents and to those who donated to Donors Choose! I was able to purchase 10 electronic keyboards for my class room and the 2nd graders had a great time learning the basics. I hope to integrate this into the current classes as well. This is the first time that i have been able to teach piano in general music class!
