Students in the Early Learning Kindergarten program at Holy Trinity Catholic Elementary School visited the music room at St. Charles College recently to be entertained and wowed by senior music students.
The students learned about percussion, different instruments and music therapy. The senior students also treated the students to a couple songs such as the Spiderman theme song.
Mrs. Demore feels it is important for students to learn to appreciate music at a very early age.
On Wednesday, November 25th, St. James Catholic Elementary School students participated in a celebration of La Ste-Catherine. They learned about Marguerite Bourgeoys and how this nun established a school in Ville-Marie (Montreal) by making pull taffy (la tire) to attract the native students to her class. The French immersion teachers prepared the taffy the night before so that their students can taste this sweet confection. Stations in the gym were set up with different activities including dancing to french canadian music, a history lesson from Soeur Marguerite Bourgeoys (Mme Gaudette) and taffy tasting.
