Visit from Mark Rust

Mrs. Waltz had folk music extraordinare Mark Rust come to our school today. He had a workshop with grades 3-5 in the morning and then a performance in the afternoon. They all got a chance to try out some of his instruments and learn the history of folk music. It was so nice to hear the kids' cheerful voices singing and the sound of spoons being played from down the hall (yes I said spoons). They are also seeing how music connects to the history of our country as we learn about the Revolutionary War in class. These hands on experinces are wonderful opportunities that will last a lifetime.
