animal and created a PowerPoint with the help <strong>of</strong> sixth graders. you can view these<br />

<strong>The</strong> third grade participated in a wonderful musical performance called<br />
harriet’s Freedom Train. This is the compelling story <strong>of</strong> harriet Tubman set<br />
to a delightful series <strong>of</strong> songs. <strong>The</strong> music took us back in time to the 1800s<br />
telling her story <strong>of</strong> misery, bondage, and emancipation. <strong>The</strong> children were<br />
directed by dr. Vasilaki with linda malis<strong>of</strong>f on flute.<br />
2nd:<br />
don’t “let the cat out <strong>of</strong><br />
the bag,” but the second<br />
graders “drummed up<br />
business” for the 3 rd<br />
annual Amelia Bedelia<br />
Fashion show. <strong>The</strong><br />
children “went bananas”<br />
while studying idioms<br />
and words with multiple<br />
meanings. <strong>The</strong> show<br />
was led by “substitute’<br />
teachers Amelia Bedelia,<br />
emily Bemily, and<br />
hutler the Butler. some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the more popular<br />
fashions were “boxer”<br />
shorts, “tank tops,”<br />
and “turtlenecks” with<br />
blazers. <strong>The</strong> grand finale<br />
featured “ball gowns” and<br />
a tuxedo complete with<br />
“cumber-buns” and “bow<br />
ties.” <strong>The</strong> best part was<br />
that the show didn’t cost<br />
an arm and a leg!
