Learning about Millo Castro Zaldarriaga, the first female Cuban drummer, in 5th grade. Of course we needed to do a little Afro-Cuban drumming! @jeleninmusic would be proud 😊 @wmirvinelem#levelup
Fun in #Kindergarten learning los colores! This week we learned azul (blue) and read the book El pingüino azul (The Blue Penguin). Top it all off with blue shaving cream sensory bins! 💙 @wmirvinelem#levelup
