♻️ Mrs. Catherine, Mrs. Caroline, and Mrs. Natalie joined their students today in the library to learn about Ada Rios and the Landfill Harmonic Orchestra from Paraguay. Teens in the slums of Cateura, Paraguay, rummage through their city's landfill to find recyclable pieces to create and build musical instruments to travel and perform.

Our students have been studying waste in our world and we showed them a creative way to recycle! We used some STEM materials to create our own instruments to play along with the orchestra.

📖: Ada's Violin by Susan Hood
🎸: Kleenex boxes and Rubber Bands

September 19th - Talk Like A Pirate Day 🏴‍☠️

Mrs. Catherine’s & Mr. Jennings’s classes came to the library to celebrate “Talk Like A Pirate Day” by listening to “No Pirates Allowed, Said Library Lou” by Rhonda Gowler Greene! The students enjoyed the story and talking like a pirate by giving their best “AAAAARGH”! Students had a blast looking for treasure in their sensory bottles and placing “X marks the spot” for treasure on the globe. We can’t wait for our next visit!
