Side By Side Story Telling by Arts Partners

On Monday, February 9th, we had some very special visitors. Detective Gimm and Detective Anderson from the Once Upon a Time Detective Agency came to our classroom. We worked together to help them solve "The Case of the Missing Little Red Riding Hood and Grandma".








We even received a certificate that states that we have been deputized as story detectives!

And finally, a Thank You letter from Mrs. Red Riding Hood, Axel Woodcutter, and the Big Bad Wolf.


Buddies & Sound

As our sound unit comes to an end we took some time to apply what we've learned about sound to real instruments. Our 5th Grade Buddies showed us their string instruments. We made observations and compared the sounds made by all different types of instruments. We even got to try some of the instruments out!

Homemade Instruments

I was so impressed with the instruments that the students created. We had a lot of fun listening to each others instruments and even trying some of them out. Take a look at what we created.

Homemade Musical Instrument

We've already started receiving some awesome musical instruments. Students should have these at school and ready to share on February 12th. Remember, the instrument can be made out of anything, it just must make more than one pitch.
