Fourth Graders First Meeting


Today Ashford School's new instrumentalists had their first lesson! Our instruments will be delivered and ready to take home next week, so we spent today preparing our binders and learning how to put together our instruments. All of the groups did a great job listening, following directions and jumping right in! I can't wait to hand out instruments next Tuesday!!
