Dear Parents/Guardians,

We would like to invite you and your family to the 2nd Grade Memorial Day Assembly on Friday, May 24th at 10:00 a.m. in the Cafetorium. Your child will be singing and dancing as part of their Memorial Day presentation. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue - and may accessorize as they please!

We hope to see you there!

Mrs. Rzasa and Mrs. Niu

New centers were introduced to our third grade students this week. We played Musical Don't Break the Ice and Family Instrument version of Old Maid. We also went over going from D, B, G, A, G. We noticed that these notes in the Red Belt song has been a challenging spot. We went over one of their concert songs, March of the Droids and all the different musical symbols. If you are still having difficulties, please don't hesitate to ask!

Now that our fourth and fifth grade students are done with their concerts, they continued to work on their composition projects. We will be performing these compositions for our first and second graders in two weeks.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the nice weather!
