Mrs. Rochelle joined Art Club

Mrs. Richardson is our fabulous art teacher here at Boger and I just couldn't resist joining Art Club with some of their awesomely fun activities....I made this container to add to my Halloween decorations.  I like to call him, "Franky Pumpkin Cat," after my sweet black cat Franky.

5th Grade Orff Arrangement

Fifth Graders were working on an Orff Arrangement of "Listen to the Mustn'ts," a poem by Shel Silverstein.  They really enjoyed it and even helped me tweek the arrangement a bit.  Big props to Mrs. Truong's class for help with the recorder part.  I will be posting the audio file (recorded by Mrs. Vansprange's class) and the finale file when I can, but in the meantime, he are some great pictures of them making beautiful music!

First Grade Fun

First Graders are playing with the Boomwhackers.  They are pitched percussion tubes and they are color-coordinated to match what is happening on the screen.  This allows them to learn how to play with a song very quickly...plus, it's fun!

Another week of work...such talented kids!















  MANY THANKS to Mrs. Richardson for all her help and talent!  We made an amazing set!

Set Design Crew - First Work Session

These pictures are of our awesome set design crew that designed our holiday musical set back in December.  Here they are during their first work session:

The group is a mix of talented 4th and 5th Grade students at Boger.
The scene is a "soda shop" and they had some great ideas!
