Drumming

SNACKS...
Not everyone is able to bring in snacks, or they don't bring in enough, they are growing kids who need fuel for their hard working brains and bodies. If you have snacks you can share with the class we would appreciate it. Ideas: goldfish, granola bars, pretzels, cheerios, crackers, etc. 
Thank you.

Drumming....
We had an assembly with our Artist in Residence, Stewart, who will be teaching us all about Taiko drumming. This is sponsored by the PTO. Thank you PTO for doing this. We are very excited to learn and play with the Taiko drums. Every day we will be working with him and on Thursday April 12th, there will be an all school performance at 6 p.m. for you to all come and see.

Let the drumming begin!


Language Arts....
Spelling words. Today we used letter cards and listened for the letter sounds.  We came up and put our sounds together to make words.  Beth tried to trick us with some 4 and 5 letter words but we all figured it out!

Who remembers this?!

Connie "What are all the chairs for?"
Zoe "We are having a meeting."
Connie "Great, can I join."
Zoe "Yes."
Connie "What is the meeting about?"
Zoe (Shrugs her shoulders, doesn't say anything.) Then... "Nothing."
Connie "Oh, I thought you were having a meeting. Maybe this is the meeting of the minds?"
Zoe "NO, not a meeting for the minds."
Connie "Oh, Ok! Well, are you solving the problems of the world?"
Zoe (Frowns at me.) "There are no problems in the world."
Connie "I love you Zoe! You have a great mind."
Oh to be 5 years old again! There really aren't any problems that need a meeting to solve them.
