Sounds of the City
The students of grade 3 have been working with Mrs. Taylor, the music teacher to create a sound poem. They have learned to rhythmically read the poem following the beat and have brainstormed how they can add sounds using the musical instruments. The students were very creative in choosing the instruments that best represent the sounds described in the poem and using them. They then chorally read the poem adding the sounds in the appropriate places. They were very quick to catch on to the pattern and have done a great job with the sound poem.



My Community Presentations
The students have done a wonderful job on their community poster projects. They have been presenting with confidence and clarity and have been quite competent at answering their classmates’ questions regarding the presentation. We have learned a great deal about each other’s communities and Switzerland in general. Well done everyone!
