Grade 2's Trip to the WSO

The Grade 2 students are all very excited to go to see the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra today! We have been listening to the music that will be played and learning about the composers who wrote the music. We have really had a lot of fun learning about the instruments of the orchestra too! We were so lucky to have Mrs. Wright, a parent from our school come and show us her oboe and English horn, two instruments that we wanted to learn more about. The best part is we are going to look for her on stage because she will be playing in the oboe section today!! Very exciting! We are dressed in our best and ready to represent our school at todays concert.

Enjoy!

Kind and Caring

Linden Meadows School is a place where we value "Caring People" and we had made it our goal this year to highlight this. At school this week we made a point of making sure every student knows what a bully is and what to do when they encounter one. In addition to this we talked about our differences and what makes us unique. This important because if we learn to celebrate differences then we will see more kind and caring people. In music class we have read stories, listened to music and created a bulleting board through discussions about what makes us unique. The picture is our bulletin board and every student was able to put their name on a music note and state something about them that they are proud of or something they think is different about them. The result was fabulous! "Each individual is like a single note, together we make a masterpiece!"

From the Dancers to the Recorders, the Drummers to the Videos and all of the performances in between our Olympic Opening Ceremonies was a huge success! Thank You to everyone who worked so hard to make this concert so special for our school. Now it's time for holidays! Enjoy and rest and we will see you next year!!

Olympic Opening Ceremonies Information!

10 days to go! We are all getting very excited and practicing very hard for our concert on Thursday December 19, 2013 at 1:30 and 7:00! There have been some questions about costumes but what I have told everyone besides the Kindergarten (reindeer)is that you could wear nice clothes, wintery clothes or your grades sport/Country themed clothing! Really whatever you want!! We just want you to be there and be and ready to sing and dance. Please be in your classrooms at 6:30 the night of the concert and let me know if you aren't going to be there! If anyone has questions please feel free to email Mrs. Dueck at kdueck@pembinatrails.ca. Keep reviewing your words and actions, dance moves and instrument parts to keep it fresh in your mind!

LM's Olympic Opening Ceremonies!

It is that time again!! Time to start preparing for our Holiday Concert on Thursday December 19th at 1:30 and 7:00 PM. This year our theme is something very different and unique. The Winter Olympics in Sochi

are coming up in February and I have always been fascinated and excited by the opening ceremonies that each country puts on. I thought it would be fun for our school to put together a concert a lot like this. Be prepared for a multidimensional musical concert with singing, instruments, movement and everything we work so hard to learn in our music classroom!
