Just like any other day...

Oh the love of what can come out of a students mouth... ever just have one of those days when you just think everything a kid says is funny? That was today!

Just as a quick note about Primary Praise: We have changed the time we sing on Sunday, to 11:00 because of the presentation of the bibles to the second graders. Please be in the church choir room at 10:40 in white tops and dark bottoms. I also sent home a PINK HALF sheet with the same info on it.

Kindergartners learned more about the instruments heard in last weeks lesson/video on Peter and the Wolf. They learned what a Clarinet looked and sounded like. They also connected that it was the Cat, in Peter and the Wolf that the clarinet went with, and also.... what Squidward plays on Sponge bob...if that is even how you spell it.

1st and 2nd graders completed their Beat/No Beat lessons with a formal assessment today. Looks like everyone did a nice job on their tests!

Jonah's is starting to put together their song for church on October 18th. We will have a good solid praise song, with some duets in the middle. It will be wonderful!

6th grade bell members can be mind boggling sometimes. After 3-4 weeks in class, they wanted to switch bells! So I let them switch with the PROMISE that the wouldn't ask me next week what bells they played, or where it was on the music! If you want to move that badly, you will know where they are! Surprisingly enough, they played through the first 24 measures without many mistakes. In fact, it was almost better than last week!

Good News choir sang in church this last Sunday and did wonderful! Thanks to all the parents who's child could not make it, for your emails and letters. I really do appreciate you all letting me know when you can't make it. They started a new song in class today, called "I'm a Soldier of the Cross" and they have started learning it all ready!

4th grade chimes, group 2 made it farther than last weeks group, only because they didn't want me to poke fun at them for being as silly as last weeks class was! Either that, or I got better at explaining what I wanted them to do! At either rate, we a moving right along, and I am beginning to see all ready who is interested in becoming handbell players, and who may be in band. Oh the choices!!

Good day over all-
Oh and if you are reading these, please let me know with a post of any kind!!
