Show #30

This may be my favorite podcast! Listen to a student interview Mrs. McPherson about the annual CMS Reading Challenge. On the spur-of-the-moment I handed Katie a recorder and she conducted a great interview! Jenny, Susan, and Max, from Mrs. Kloumann's fifth grade, share some original poetry. The poems are in honor of Poetry Month. I especially love the message of the first poem.

Put on your dancing shoes! Mrs. Travis shares a Flamingo Dance Workshop experience that her students have been participating in all week. Many of the staff know of this annual event, but never knew what it was because of schedules. No wonder the students love it!

Forget the long bus ride to Sturbridge, MA. Mrs. Silvester took all the voice recorders and put her students to work while on a field trip to Sturbridge Village. She then crafted her own podcast. It's very impressive and it's here, in part, for you to enjoy. Look for more podcasts from this very talented class. Her class website is www.chatham.k12.ma.us/cms/Tcms/silvester/

I'll also share, as promised in show #29, part of a school committee presentation that Mrs. Macomber's students gave regarding music education at CMS. This Project Citizen assignment has become very important to these young people. Please listen and give them some feedback.
