Friday!

Musician of the Week!

Each week, I select one student (via a Popsicle stick) at the
beginning of Music Class to be the "Musician of the Week!"
The unidentified student must follow the five Music Class Rules
for the entire 30 minutes of class. We find out who that student
is at the end of our time together and see if they might like to
performsomething for us (play a instrument, sing a song, etc.)!

No School!

 

No school today in Franklin, MA, for Rosh Hashana!



Happy Wednesday!
