From Ms. Jetton, our music teacher

Hello from your child's music teacher!  On Thursday, March 20, we are doing a music lesson on "Found Sound" instruments.  These are things like a stapler being used, a can of liquid being shaken, a bottle with beans stored in it, etc. They create sounds by just being what they are.  Would you please help your child find one of these "Found Sound" instruments in your home that you would be willing to have them bring to school on Thursday, March 20? We will use these in our class that day, then they will take them back home at the end of the day. Please do not send anything breakable or expensive. I look forward to seeing what the children bring in to use!  Thank you for your help.  Mrs. Jetton, Music Teacher

Toys and interesting things...

Keep turning up in the classroom.  Please let me know if your child might have brought in a quid, and remind your child that toys and electronics stay at home.
