100 Day at Floral Street School



Just wanted to send you a little "note" to tell you all that we are approaching the 100th Day of school at Floral Street School. As we went through the day here in the Music Room, we had students put one note on the white board every time we caught someone being extra awesome or when we saw a random act of kindness. We did end up with 100 notes at the end of the day. We wanted to share the colorful cheeriness with you!

Happy Hundredth Day of School!

Music can be fun, when you know the story!

Have you ever listened to a piece of music and said, "That's nice." Then you may learn an interesting fact about the composer, or you may learn that there is a story behind the music...When you listen to it again, you may enjoy it even more.

We found a video of the famous Russian composer, Sergei Prokofiev playing his music Peter and the Wolf for Walt Disney. It was neat to be able to see a real composer sharing his music. Since Prokofiev didn't speak much English, he had an interpreter tell Walt Disney about the music that he was playing on the piano. We hope you like it!

Have a great week ahead,
Mrs. DeBlois and Mrs. Demarky Anderson
