Springtime is Coming!

spring is coming spring is coming 

Spring is coming spring is coming 

Winter is here but spring time is coming 

Winter is here but spring time is coming 

but it’s not here yet we’ll have to wait a bit the weather still is so cold and it’s starting to get old 

I like to ski a lot a lot 

I like to snowboard a lot a lot 

I like to iceskate a lot a lot 

I like to sled a lot a lot but 

springtime is so nice and I like it better 

springtime is so fun and has better weather 

springtime feels so good and looks even better 

ten degrees is great but eighty is better 

but it’s not here yet we’ll have to wait a bit 

the weather still is so cold and it’s starting to get old 

spring is coming spring is coming 

Spring is coming spring is coming 

Eventually!

Muffin Monday

It happens on the first day of the week, 

students line up to buy a special treat 

muffins are impossible to beat 

I wish that they were all we had to eat

we get up first thing early out of 

bed visions of muffins in our heads 

we move and roll right out the door 

we bring two dollars we made from our chores

(2)chocolate is the best better than all the rest 

(3)poppy seed has less calories and better for our arteries 

(4)pumpkin spice is my vice the spice is oh so nice

November update- we will continue our work with xylophones and start prepping music for our holiday concert.

Due to popular demand, Spotify playlist for Grieg pieces below. I'm excited that so many students want to listen to Grieg at home!!
