Peter and the Wolf and Concerts

Peter and the Wolf
A special thank you to JFK and Parmenter PCCs! Thanks to them, I was able to bring my Instruments of the Orchestra unit to life! Today Parmenter 3rd graders joined 3rd graders at JFK to watch musicians of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra perform Peter and the Wolf! It was a real treat to see the instruments we learned about up close and personal. The musicians were able to stay and do a repeat performance for grades K-2 as well!
 
Bravo!
I can not begin to explain how proud I was of my students this week. At both Parmenter and JFK, the 3rd and 4th graders had wonderful concerts that showed great enthusiasm and hard work! Yesterday 5th graders performed in their Proud To Be An American Show. It has been such an honor to watch them grow into wonderful musicians. It seems as though they just walked through the doors as Kindergarteners not too long ago! They will be greatly missed and I hope they come back and visit!
 
I was not able to get clips from all performances but I'm including a couple below! If someone has a clip from the JFK 3rd grade concert, please e-mail me! macmurraym@franklin.k12.ma.us Thank you!
