Wala Visits

Last Wednesday WALA, a group from Ghana, performed for us. They introduced the many different instruments that they played and then asked for children to come and make music. Look carefully and you may spot Karen, Nicholas, Tayler and Ethan creating music. Alexus, Katy, and Nathan showed off their dancing skills.

Wow James!

Last week James brought his fish tank to school.  We told us about it by using his talking device.  Room 5 students asked him questions and James gave his answers by using device.
