First grade just finished their Peter and the Wolf unit. Peter and the Wolf is a story in music, with a narrator and an orchestra. They learned which melody represented which character and what instruments were being played. Written by Sergei Prokofiev, it is a fantastic piece. Give it a listen!
Next week 3/3-3/7 is Read Across America week, in honor of that we will be having dress up days! We encourage you to sit down with your child and read a book together! Reading is knowledge!

Here's a fun experiment you can do with your children that only takes a few minutes!
Get some boiling water, head outside, and throw the water into the air! (To the side, don't stand under it!) Parents or older students, please help your littles with this as the water is still hot!
Send some pics and comment with your results of what happens to the water!
Have a great e-learning day, and stay warm!
