KFC Writing by Giselle

This week in writing on the KFC side, (Kool Fun Cookies) we are working on the third essay that was assigned to us. This essay was due this Thursday, but M was not yet back from her trip to Olympia, so we discussed the essay on Friday.  Hopefully all of you have the final draft of their third essay done, so you can turn it in fully finished to the KFC writing box. Make sure that you have checked your essay for mistakes, such as talking too much about causes and repeating the same sentence in the same way, over and over again. If have absolutely no idea of what to say, and are at a complete loss of words, you are allowed to write a  only three or four paragraph essay.

At our friendship party, we ate lots of yummy food and shared some amazing talents.  We spent most of the time listening and laughing with our performers, and had a great time.  Everyone sharing their talents were wonderful, and we all had fun. Some of the talents were lip syncing, violin, guitar, piano, some skits, and many more. We had a few people drawing and making cards after eating their food. We had lots of volunteers come and help us, (thank you volunteers!) and that made everything possible. We had a fun time, with lots of delicious food and awesome talent to top it off. Everyone made a box and decorated it for the party, and some people brought in candy and cards to pass out in the boxes. All in all, we all had a great time. Hope you all had a great valentines day!

Beginning Orchestra by Isabella and Chloe

In Beginning Orchestra we are learning the A string notes for our May concert.  The last time we went to practice, almost  all we did was test the A string note for our May concert.  We are practicing the Mozart Melody.  Mozart Melody is the head song we are playing for our concert.  Our AMAZING teacher Mrs. Nelson is teaching us so many AMAZING things like how to remember certain notes, and reviewing the D string notes that we already learned.  Beginning Orchestra is SUPER FUN and I suggest to play an Orchestra instrument like a violin, viola, bass, cello, or any other stringed instrument!

BTW, Mozart Melody is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

We had a few more visitors at Class Meeting on Friday!
