Good morning everyone! Today is Thursday, a Music Class day for 2nd grade - but 3rd graders, you can be in on this too and do this on your Music Class day tomorrow!
March 17th was St. Patrick's Day. We missed our Music Class that day, but we can still do an Irish jig! Do you know what a jig is? That's right - it's a dance!
Go to YouTube and find Shop Street Galway, Ireland - Young Lady Irish Dancing
Watch the dancer, along with a cute, little girl dancing too! Make your own jig and ask your parents or a grownup to make a short video and send it to me in an e-mail! Have fun dancing!
Stay healthy and keep washing your hands! - Ms. W
