Encanto! We are using boomwhackers to play along to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. We learned about the composer Lin Manuel Miranda!
Enjoy 3 KM! #rvsed

Just a fun song to sing along with and some frog rhythms to try and clap! Have fun! #rvsed @SarahThompsonSc

[Portia Crooks @CrooksPortia]

How about a canon? What's that you say? STS Grade 3 students and up should know that a canon is where you sing the same song but start at different times. Check it out and give it a try!!!

@grade4ps @SarahThompsonSc Awww thanks Chelsey, that means a lot to me! 💗

[Portia Crooks @CrooksPortia]

Anyone else missing singing? This is a 3 part song called 'One Bottle of Pop'. See if you can learn each of the parts. For a challenge, see if you can sing one part while a friend sings another part!!! Have fun! #rvsed @SarahThompsonSc

The pool moose has dried off and returned safely back to nature, but not before a little dip.
