Today we focused for the first half of the day on making May Day baskets. Unfortunately, we ran out of time to make the flowers to put in them. They could put candies in (or make flowers) at home), if you like. Then we went up to art class with Mr. Fairbanks, and when we got back down to our classroom, Joseph's mom Ann was here for our Bravo music appreciation lesson. Today they learned about Duke Ellington, and listened to three of his songs - The Ride of the Magi, Blue Reverie, and Black and Tan Fantasy. They also learned about the rhythm patterns that make up the songs. After that, we had just enough time to clean up and go home.

Enjoy your weekend - remember that there is no school for students on Monday!
