Keep a Song in your Heart!

What could be better than learning about the life of musical genius Yo-Yo Ma? A private concert by Mrs. Landrigan, CHS Orchestra Teacher and Ms. Bass, Strings Teacher at CMS! Our class enjoyed a performance on the cello and violin! Did you know that Yo-Yo Ma calls one of his cellos "SWEETIE PIE" and he almost lost another cello in the back of a taxicab worth 2.5 million dollars?! YIKES! We also spent time listening to music from different genres! Room 204 has some movers and shakers, especially when we listened to disco! Move your feet and boogie to the beat!

Watch out VanGogh! There's a New Artist in Town! (actually 21!)

After enjoying the book "Through Artist's Eyes" our class learned how artists share their views and visions with the world! We learned that they create an image using their perspective and can capture the beauty all around us! We decided to check out some amazing art books (with the help of Mr. D'Aloia) and see for ourselves. After selecting some of our favorite works we created pictures using the artist's style. You should see the bright, blooming flowers that would make Georgia O'Keefe proud! We created portraits, landscapes, shells and made our very own art museum in Room 204! There is an artist in everyone! Paint on!
