Multicultural Assembly

Featured Blogger: Sammy
Hello, my name is Sammy. I am writing about the third grade Multicultural Assembly.
In third grade, you put on a show for the whole school, and guess what, your parents can even come too!!! First, in Library, we read a book. That book has a culture. This year the culture is Chinese. And the book is called The Lord Of The Cranes.
Next, in Art, we do an activity about the book we read in Library. This year we are doing birds of kindness because that has to do with cranes which is a bird.
After that, in Music, the whole school learns a song with that culture. As an add on to that, one of the positions is to play the music on your recorder.  The song on the recorder is usually pretty hard.
Last but not least, Gym. In Gym we all learn a dance that goes along with that culture.  This year we haven't learned the dance yet.
When we are all done with the specials, we get our positions for the show. Then we start putting everything together. When that starts happening, we go back to our specials to do the same thing, but this time, it’s for real.  In Library we read the several times to get the story in our head. And then in Art we make all of the props and costumes for the big show.  Now in Music, we learn all the songs on the recorder, and play the songs. Also in music, one of the positions is playing a instrument, so if you chose that, you learn what to play.  After that, in Gym, we learn all the moves and other dances. We also learn what to say and what to do for our role\part to play. When we are all done with those, we put it all together.

Oh, and PS, come to Lilja Elementary School on April 12th, 2018. See you there!
