“Salute to the Troops” Expo

Our class has been learning the music for our “Salute to the Troops” Expo on Wednesday, May 22 at 6:00.  A permission slip is attached to our Weekly Memo.  It is the hope that all 1st grade students will attend the expo.  A copy of the lyrics for our songs will be coming home on Thursday in our Graded Paper folders.  The hardest lyrics to learn are for the “Armed Forces Medley” and “Thank you Soldiers.”  If you would like a copy of the music to practice with, I can provide that as well. 

What are we learning this week?
