Glurp, the purple alien

We are learning to read aloud with fluency and expression. Today we read Glurp, the purple alien. Here we are reading the poem...

I’m Glurp, the purple alien.

I come from outer space.

I have a purple body.

I have a purple face.

I use my purple tentacles

to dine on purple food.

The treats I find the tastiest

are purely purple-hued.

I’ll eat a purple burger.

I’ll slurp a purple shake.

I’ll feast on purple pickles and

partake of purple cake.

I’ll nosh on purple noodles.

I’ll feast on purple fries.

I’ll munch on purple macaroons

and purple pizza pies.

I haven’t seen your planet,

but, if I ever do,

you’d better not wear purple.

I might just dine on you.

--Kenn Nesbitt

Thanks Margaret and Chris

Thanks Margaret and Chris for coming in and playing to us. It was beautiful to hear you play and you really sparked our imaginations with Beethoven's melody...

Hannah Fraser Visit

Today Hannah came to talk to us about music. She plays the grand piano at the hospital  and makes people happy by playing her music. She teaches people how to play different instruments. She showed us a jazz song and taught us a song called tiny bubbles. She sang us a french song when playing the piano. It is really cool to meet different musicians. Hannah is very talented!
