Floats and Fun!
Week #25 March 6-8, 2019

Welcome back!  The focus of our 3 day week was the completion of our floats in preparation for this coming Monday's parade.  Students worked diligently and collaboratively to finalize all the details needed to make their float parade-ready.  Students needed a lot of information to represent on their float including their state's:  flag, region, time zone, border states, capital, major cities, a body of water, a landform, 5 state symbols, interesting places to visit and fun facts.  Wow!  They are certainly experts about their states!  We also practiced singing and marching to "Fifty Nifty United States".  Here are our floats on display awaiting our parade on Monday. 

On Friday, we enjoyed 2 live performances.  We watched a musical at The Flynn Theater entitled "Rosie Revere, Engineer and Her Friends".  This musical was based on 3 picture books about the main characters that we read before viewing the show.  Thank you to Ingrid Pels for the shout out to "Molly and her friends at RMCS"; the students all felt like celebrities!  Here we are in our seats (wearing our patient pants) ready to be an awesome audience for the fun musical.

The second live performance we enjoyed was a kick-off assembly to our artist-in-residence that begins next week.  The Burlington Taiko Group performed for the entire school.  Sensei Stuart and 3 other musicians wowed us with their skill and artistry.  Thank you to the PTO for funding this opportunity.  We'll spend 10 half hour sessions with Sensei before our culminating evening performance on Friday, March 29.

Enjoy the weekend with your family!
