Fun with Instruments

On Wednesday afternoons Pod 2 will be learning about musical instruments. Last Wednesday we were lucky to have two musicians come in and demonstrate how to play some instruments and how they can work together.  From next week we will be learning our own! 




Wind Writing

Room 5 took advantage of the wind on Friday and used it as a writing prompt. We were learning to use a Y chart - looks like, feels like, sounds like. We stood outside in the wind and brainstormed before coming inside to work cooperatively as small groups to get some ideas down.
