We need some positive vibes here!
Our own Mr. Schmeeckle had a poem published this month in Colorado Life Magazine.
WOOHOO! Schmeeckle. We are proud of you!


How well do you know your instruments? We have not yet had a chance to study them this year, but here is a fun game featuring music from Mozart's Magic Flute: http://www.musicgames.net/livegames/orchestra/orchestra2.htm NOTE: the flute player is holding the flute backwards. :(

Here is a little fun jazz scat (singing with vocal improvisation with wordless vocables, nonsense syllables or without words at all) for you to enjoy. Parents you may recognize this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuqClmxp_Ng

Hello Warrior Family,
We received information late yesterday that Governor Polis extended school closures until April 30th. When we receive any additional information we will let you know. Online and remote learning will continue until that time.

MUSIC BRAIN BREAK
Another way to practice reading is to sing! Find your favorite song on youtube. Choose the lyric version of the song and watch those words as you sing along! Give it a try with this song from Moana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REntT1Amvxc

Our extended learning for Preschoolers has launched today!! This is going to be so much fun!

Hello!
I will be using OPENPhysEd to help our kids stay physically active and healthy while the school is closed.
In order to meet the physical education goals during this time student must be physically active for 60 minutes each day. You can use the this physical activity log to record your activity time.
Remember, activity doesn’t have to happen all at once.
Have FuN and StAy AcTiVe!
