A Busy Week

Playing Go Ten

We have been keeping busy and trying to stay warm. The winds have been making it feel pretty cold outside for November. Our classroom has been busy with activity. Here are some things we have been up to.

What makes ten?

African Drums

Ms. Knoll has brought in the African drums for music classes. The students were able to learn to play them using different parts of their hands. It was impressive to hear the sounds and rhythms they created. We are fortunate to have the drums at our school for a couple of weeks. You may see and hear some drumming at home as the students practice some of their techniques on tables and chairs!

Here are our thoughts:
