Mrs. Doty's Class: "Viva Valentine"

Happy Valentine's Day!

This song, "Viva Valentine", by Teresa Jennings is from Music K-8 Volume 11, Issue 3.  These kids learned this song in no time.  They got a little camera shy.  Before I got the camera out, they were dancing like crazy!

Mrs. Dowers' Class: Composing

Mrs. Petrovitch's Class: Fill That Bus

Our district-wide Fill That Bus Campaign is Feb. 4 - 15.  This is Mrs. Petrovitch's class in their part of the 3rd grade video that will be show each morning while students donate canned/boxed food and personal items.
