What I Am

"Ms. P we love this song." JK and SK students


We are currently engaged in an inquiry about "Beauty". I will be posting some of our inquiry process later this week.

One of the songs we have begun to learn that the children "love" is a song by Will I.am and the Muppets. Many of the children have asked that I email this song to their parents so that they can hear it at home. I have provided the link to the song below as well as the song lyrics.

The children will be thinking about something that they do beautifully and our Media Literacy/Computer teacher Mrs. Piteo will be putting together a video that we will share once it has been completed.
