Magical Music Monday...

Our newest inquiry focuses on space, the International Space Station and Com. Chris Hadfield.  Although his mission on the I.S.S. is drawing to a close, the students have been captivated by his time in space and are excited to learn more about space daily.

On Monday, we participated in a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Along with 600,000 other Canadian school children, we sang with Com. Hadfield!!  We learned the song he wrote with Ed Robertson, called I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing).  We watched a live webcast and sang along with Com. Hadfield while he is still in space.  It was amazing to participate in such a great event.  Music Monday tries to bring awareness to the importance of music in schools and our education system.

There are so many questions and topics the students are wondering about in regards to space.  We are discovering more every day.  We can't wait to share our learning with you!
