Never Play Music Right Next To The Zoo - John Lithgow - Read Aloud

If All the Raindrops

As per direction from MB Education, Grade K-5 students are expected to do no more than 1 hour of school a day with a focus on literacy, numeracy and physical movement. This is so great and we hope that this is manageable for you and your families. We are here to help. With that said, music is form of literacy and a wonderful part of life that helps relieve stress and bring joy. It is a creative art form that uses different parts of the brain that are good for us. I sincerely hope that your family finds time to make music together, whether it's just listening to a fun song or dancing or practicing an instrument.

I hope all my students enjoy the activities in these booklets. It would be wonderful to hear atleast once a week something you have been doing in the arts and feel free to email me pictures or videos or post it through SeeSaw login. (julianna.rempel@sjasd.ca)

And please let me know if you need anything.

Stay well and happy music making!

Speaking Hands

Our Kinders are learning a new song called "ABC Ya Later."  We are learning about using our hands to talk which is called sign language.  We are excited to practice our alphabet and share with you our song at the February I Love to Read Assembly.

Flashback Firestation

I was just reading Mrs. Grant's classroom blog about their trip to the fire station this week and their pictures reminded me of my time teaching in South Korea.  Here was my Kindergarten's field trip to a fire station.

Down By the Bay...

One of my favorite children's muscians is Raffi!  Raffi is an Egyptian-born Canadian singer-songwriter and author best known for his children's music.

One of the fun songs we like singing at Stevenson is "Down by the Bay."  It's fun to rhyme!  Can you finish these lines?  Can you make your own silly rhyme?

Have you ever seen a bear, eating a _________?
Have you ever seen a whale, swimming in a ________?
Have you ever seen a bee, living in a ________?
Have you ever seen a dog, sitting on a ________?
