4th grade students in Mrs. Hinrichs’s class read the book “Ada’s Violin” and watched the video “Orquestra de Reciclados de Cateura”. They planned how to create their own instruments from recycled materials and built them in STEM Class. Their ideas were amazing!
We had an incredible time with Jim "Basketball" Jones learning how to truly SOAR through always giving it 100%, using our manners, never giving up, patient listening and so much more. Look here soon for a video of all the fun.
