The Orchard Hills Sixth Grade Orchestra performed today for the school.  The orchestra is directed by Mrs. Drager and there are 11 students in orchestra.  Instruments played are the violin, viola, and cello.  The students have been working so hard early in the mornings before school and they sounded great.  A few students perfomed solos today too.  

Learning about Helen Keller

Mrs. Lisonbee's second grade class  studied Helen Keller this past week.  Students spent time learning what it might be like to not be able to see.  Pretty interesting.  The kiddos had to work a lot harder at their tasks.  It was a great experience.

Mrs. Kelley's second grade class tied fleece blankets and donated them to a Navajo Reservation in Arizona so that many children will have a warmer Christmas!  We loved getting the blankets ready.  We learned to work together and helped each other learn to tie knots.  We also learned that doing something nice for someone else makes our hearts happy!

The first graders helped us get in the Christmas spirit.  Today they performed Christmas songs for the school and their parents.  They did such a good job.  They all want their 2 front teeth for Christmas!
