Beginning Band members Daliyah and Asher make a wonderful music team and had a good band lesson on Thursday. They got three songs crossed off. They have only been playing since October and all of a sudden, things are starting to come together: fingerings, reading the notes, rhythm and producing a sound. Way to go Daliyah and Asher!

Tuesday was STEM Day! Intermediate created marshmallow catapults and they were flying all over the room! They did a great job following directions and then modifying their catapults to make them even better. We have a lot of students with futures in STEM careers, I have no doubt!

We had a busy week! The students cast their votes: are cookies or chips the king (Spoiler: it was chips by a landslide!), had a discussion about politics and civility, made a lot of creative art, collected rocks and started exploring them, and enjoyed a book during a mini read-aloud.
