Music

Music Corner
By Shelley Irvin-Kent 
Kindergarten has started learning the music of Carnival of the Animals by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. So far, we have studied The Royal March of the Lion, Hens and Roosters, Tortoises, Wild Donkeys, Elephants, and Kangaroos. We do movements with each piece and then color a picture of the animal and its associated instrument. Ask your child what his or her favorite animal is so far!

Safe Routes to School
Do you want your children to be able to walk or bike to school safely? Do you want to save time and money by using your car less frequently? The City of Cambridge is developing a Safe Routes to School program to support and encourage students who would like to walk or bike to school. Help us learn your thoughts about children walking and biking to school in Cambridge by completing our survey. It will take about five minutes, and we ask that you complete a survey for each of your children.
Please fill out this survey by April 30th >>
