 As the clock ticks on, Covid-19 is spreading quickly throughout the world.  People are getting sick.  People are dying.  We have to protect ourselves and those around us.  So please, wear your mask and be safe.

We are writing about music!

Music with Room 4 & Resa                                                                                                by Eliza

Yesterday on Monday me and Room 4 went to the hall for jellybean music with Resa. When we went in the hall we all sat down on the floor of the side of the hall because Resa was with a different class. When they were done I helped Resa put some stuff away so that we could start some music.When we all sat down Resa said hello everybody in a music way. Then we said hello Resa in a music way too.

Then Resa told  me and Room 4 that we all carry an instrument that is our own voice. Our voice is really special because it contacts other people so that’s why our voice is special like how you're so special in your own way and like your family. When Resa was done with telling us about our voice we did a song called sailor. Sailer is a song that we do with our glockenspiel. We follow Resa like instructions except that we can’t read Resa like a book. When Resa was done teaching us we all lined up and said goodbye because it was lunch time. I also like music because it’s my talent just like singing with myself. But I’m always scared when I sing in front of people. 

Eliza - Fantastic use of time words. Thank you for  sharing your  personal experience of music so beautifully.
