Glee Club by Sophie

In Glee Club, we prepare songs. To do this, we get into groups (altos and sopranos). Mr. Mottern helps each section with their part of the song.

After we get used to our part, the altos and sopranos sing together.

After all of these ups and downs, singing with each other, we all feel like we all feel like a wonderful, big family.

In the concert, every girl (and one boy) sing their hearts out (not really that would hurt), feeling like on the stage, singing, is the place where we belong.

The links below will let you listen to the last concert we had.

Assemblies by Sal

Lately we've had some really cool assemblies. One was where someone told us about fire safety, and one was where this guy came in and did something really cool!! Basically, he came in and took four chairs from the audience and four people and put the chairs so they faced north, south, east, and west. The kids sat down in the chairs, then he took away the chairs!

One of them was where a policeman came in and told us about bike safety, which I guess was cool...

So, yeah. We've had a whole bunch of other ones, too! So I hope you liked this!

Fire Safety Assembly by Ellie

This week we had a fire safety assembly and you learned lots about fire safety. For example, "KEEP OUT AND STAY OUT!" and like "Stop, drop, and roll!" And they showed us their equipment they wear when there is a fire and I thought that was cool! You should make a meeting spot outside in case there is a fire.

FIRE!

Mayhem Poets Assembly by Dylan

We were sitting comfortably in our seats watching the Mayhem Poets make us laugh. They were making us laugh more and more every second. At the end they asked some people to come up for a one word poem. It was funny because they sometimes messed up.

After we went back to the classroom everybody was talking about the Mayhem Poets. "Let's do a one word poem," I exclaimed. While we were doing that I noticed that everyone around us was doing it, too. Cool, I thought.

This assembly was very important because it taught us that poetry can be written in more than one way.
