Second Grade visits Indywood

The second grade classes recently visited the residents at Indywood Estates to share some songs, smiles, and hugs.

Donkey Tales Teaser

Here is a little teaser for tomorrow's First Grade Play at PDS.
Come at 8:30 Friday morning to see some adorable, snaggle-tooth First Graders present "Donkey Tales", a musical by Kathie Hill and Melody Morris.
*PLAY WILL BE IN THE GYM

Sweet Treats

We have such SWEET Lunch Ladies at PDS. This was dessert for the day!

Music Symbol Art

This is a photo of my new artwork. This was a Christmas gift from a family member. The students are having fun identifying the music symbols.

Up and Down the Scale

The 4k students recently learned to play ascending and descending 5 note scales on the tone bells. Just ask them, and they will sing for you "From the rising of the sun, 'Til the time that it goes down, I will praise Your name. I will praise Your name. "

Friday Afternoons with First Grade

First Grade come to music class on Friday afternoons. Just imagine the energy in the air!!! So much excitement over weekend plans, sleep-overs, grandparent visits, and such. Sometimes it is difficult to contain all our excitement. Luckily, we have an outlet for our energy right now. We are preparing for our hoe-down, and the first graders will do their first "square" dance.



All join hands, circle left.





Bow to your partner.





Girls all curtsy, boys please bow.



Bow to your corner.



Cicrle to the left.



Sometimes we get a little silly. That's ok. It's Friday afternoon.



We always manage to pull it back together before we leave.

Lining up and ready for the hall.



Going Home! The weekend is just beginning!



OOPS!. These last two pictures were not supposed to be last.
I lost them.



For some reason, bowing and curtsying can be SO funny. (giggle, giggle)
The boys and girls got so tickled over this move.

As you can see, the hoe-down is going to be fun for everyone. Keep October 23 reserved for this special PDS event.





Indoor Recess!!!

What do you get when rainy-day-indoor-recess meets giggly, silly (and fashion-concious)fifth graders?

Who says you have to go outside to have fun at recess?

*Those things on their heads are their lunch boxes.
