Music News!!! We are very excited to have the opportunity to view the   Calgary Opera's   virtual presentation of Dean Burry's   The Brothers Grimm   next week.    This virtual opera is performed by the McPhee Artist Development Ensemble with Musical Direction by Mel Kirby. We will be viewing it during music class and we will be discussing the various parts of the Opera including singing parts, opera terminology, and how an opera contains a variety of forms of music.   We are very fortunate that Calgary Opera offers this presentation free of charge to our schools.  Hopefully your child will be able to share with you all about the opera at the end of next week!  If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Serra at   jeserra@cbe.ab.ca

A big thank you to everyone who sent in food bank donations for the veterans! The class did a fantastic job sharing today during the virtual assembly. I posted the song they learned in Music to the Google Classroom so you can see it. They also learned and shared live a French poem called "Brave Soldats."  I hope you have a peaceful Remembrance Day tomorrow and a rejuvenating PD Day on Friday. I'll see the students back on Monday! ~ Ms Elder
