Our week started and ended with performances! On Monday, the Mt. Tabor jazz band came to Stephenson to perform. It was a great performance that had all of the kiddos tapping their feet to some jazz classics. The week ended with the Missoula Children's Theater performance of Hansel and Gretel. It is amazing to see the quality performances after just one week of practice!
While we should celebrate and take care of the Earth everyday, we celebrated Earth day on Wednesday by reading one of my all time favorites, The Lorax, and cleaning up the Stephenson playground and walkways. The first graders truly took the Lorax's words to heart "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not."
We had our fabulous Artist in Residency, Lisa, come in this week. She will be coming again next week to finish teaching the first graders about glass art and helping them create their own!
A HUGE thank you to Lisa Barsotti (Paige's mom) for teaching Jr. Achievement! Her first lesson focused on family and community, and encouraged the first graders to think about all of the similarities and differences in families. They came up with many thoughtful responses. We have a pretty great room 112 family :)
