The 4th grade embraced their first Hula dancing lesson with much enthusiasm and they will eventually incorporate the new dance routine they are learning into the final production.

Music As A Universal Language

The fifth grade studied why Music is considered a universal language. They each researched a foreign country and a popular music tradition in their respective locations and cultures. They will share their findings with the class. They also created a collage in the shape of a musical note with flags from various countries around the world.
