November 2017 Statistics

November was fast and fun at the Forest North Library! Check out these statistics from this past month. I'm excited to be back in action at the library- Library Leaders has just selected their helpers and our first training is on Tuesday, 12/19, and Ukulele Club will start in January!

 

Join Ukulele Club

Mrs. Fournier & Ms. Velasquez invite 3rd, 4th & 5th graders to join us for Ukulele Club! Applications available here or in the library and are due 10/18 at 3:00! 16 lucky students will get to borrow a ukulele for the year to take home and practice. We'll meet every Tuesday after school - students who own their own ukulele are welcome to apply as well!

Ukulele Club Rocking Out!

Ukulele Club has been such an eye-opening experience!  I started private lessons on my ukulele back in November so that I could get a head start, but since we started a few weeks ago, the students in Ukulele Club are rapidly closing the gap!  They learn chords and progressions so quickly, and their transitions are quickly approaching perfect!  It is very obvious that they are dedicated to practicing at home.  We are learning different songs and deciding what we should play at the Talent Show on 5/27 at DeerPark Middle School. 

Check out yesterday's tweet to watch the video of our students playing Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" yesterday. I got really excited because @roundrockisd retweeted it, which always makes my day!

See you on 5/27 at the talent show!
