A song for Diwali! Many of our students here at ES are celebrating Diwali this weekend. In music today, we sang a song in 6/8, in ABA and Rondo form, and included not only English but Hindi and Telugu. Happy Diwali! #D73 #ES #Music #Diwali2023

Alright elementary south 5th grade, if Mr. Messina can practice this over break, so can you! #become1 #d73inspires Keep practicing!

Over the break, I’ve been practicing my violin! Students, this takes time and lots and lots of practice! See, even teachers can learn new instruments, and again, make sure you’re practicing them over the break!

We do miss the kiddos, and hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! Happy Spring Break Elementary South!
