Too Much Noise!

Thank you to families who were able to attend Too Much Noise on Thursday night. Every student in our class was able to perform and it was a wonderful Musical to experience. A big Thank You to Ms. Mutz who worked with the students over the past few months to make the Musical happen.

Guest Teacher!

This week our class had a very special treat – Ms. Millham was the guest teacher in music.  The class and Ms. Millham wrote a song about me!  The students brainstormed all the words they thought of when thinking about second grade and me.  Ms. Millham then took all the words they brainstormed and wrote a song to the tune of one of our favorite classroom songs, Aiken Drum.  Below is the video of students singing the song.  A big Thank You to Ms. Millham who went above and beyond for our class and wrote a touching and thoughtful song!
