Wednesday, December 5th

Joy Pod
Music:
We had drumming again today... we are working on patterns in drumming.  What a great connection to what we are doing in our classrooms. Our next lesson will be on Monday, December `10th.  

One World Drumming:

Our drumming residency started today and the sounds of drums have filled the hallways. Our students will be learning songs to share with you on the morning of December 14th in a similar fashion to our performances from Sound Kreations. The schedule with specific times is being confirmed with our instructor and we will let you know as soon as we do.
