Using Boomwhackers, we are learning about chords in music, rhythm and ostinato.

The First Grade Students all did a wonderful job in the Winter Program in January.
Students in Grade 1 have been learning about the composer Camille Saint Saens and his
work, "The Carnival of the Animals". We watched a video of a Youth Orchestra
Performance of this piece. It was great fun to see the animals that Saint Saens was
