Musical Theater Began Today!

We started our Musical Theater program with Karen today. Over the next several weeks, we'll be working with other fourth grade classes to put on our own version of "1776," the musical. Today we began with drama and dance warmups.

Then, we started learning one of the songs we'll be singing and dancing to during our performance in June.

Make sure you're practicing our song regularly at home!
