"We haz it folks!"

The fourth graders wowed audiences with their performances of "We Haz Jazz."

Not only did they light up the stage with their singing and dancing,

but they created the set as well!
When Thelonius Monk took the stage there was not a dry eye in the house!

The second graders are learning Fanga Alafia, a song from West Africa. During the instrumental break they practiced creating polyrhythms, the simultaneous sounding of two or more rhythms. Students broke into groups to create these rhythms and then performed them for each other in class.
The second graders will be singing Fanga Alafia for Grandparents and Special Friends Day.

And, here is a sneak peek at We Haz Jazz. The fourth graders can't wait until Friday!
