Today in music we learned about each syllable of the musical solfege system.  You may recognise them below:

Now you can't teach about the solfege system without bringing up the movie "The Sound of Music".  The students really enjoyed watching Maria teach the Von Trap children all about it:

In LA we continued with our Stuart Little novel study.  The kids were glad to hear that Stuart made it out of the blind he was stuck in with the help of his brother George.  In chapter 6 Stuart made his way to Central Park to watch the model ships sailing at the pond.  After talking with the owner of the sailboat "The Wasp", Stuart was able to get a job captaining the boat in a race...Will have to wait until next week to see if he wins.

In Math we had some fun addition and subtraction centres.  One of the centres was the online game "That's a Fact".  Check it out below:

Tomorrow is the Jump Rope for Heart event.  If you raised money please bring it in tomorrow.  Also, please make sure you are lathered up in sunscreen and bring a hat because we will be outside all afternoon skipping.

Have a great night!
