Field Trips:
Thank you to Scott & Sarah Wiley for a wonderful music experience!  The T/TH PM class was so fortunate to visit Scott's recording studio.  We loved playing the pianos, hand bells, & drums.  We saw some instruments that we've never seen before.  And, all the children loved hearing their voices over the microphone.  It was so fun, educational, and exciting!  

The AM class was able to go to Red Lobster for a fabulous tour and yummy snack.  We loved touching the lobsters and watching them hold crayons.  We enjoyed watching the fish in the aquarium eat.  We learned that the puffer fish can only puff up 7 times and then it will die.
