The Spoon Man is coming!!!!

He plays with 2 ordinary household tablespoons with music in the background.  He has an audience Sing-A-Long competition.  Everyone gets involved.  Hilarious Impressions.  A-Rock-N-Roll and A Rap-Spoon Player.  He creates a Mountain Band out of the students and staff.  He jumps into the audience playing spoons on their hands. Everyone gets "spooned."  He has great educational messages, which are blended into his show.
The Spoon Man will be at Granby Elementary on Thursday, March 22nd.  He will have one performance during the school day and will then have a second performance at 7pm for all Granby families.

Wellness Man IV

Wellness Man IV is coming!  We have been very busy filming the fourth installment of the Wellness Man series.  I wrote the script this year and we are having a blast putting it all together.  This year we will be focusing on the issue of school bullying.  It is a very important topic and I hope we are going to get the point across to the kids and have a bit of fun at the same time.

As a big movie fan I often look for films that speak to me as a teacher and as a parent.  I watched the trailer for a new movie called The Bully Project and was just about brought to tears.  I is amazing how damaging the acts of a bully can be to any child.  This movie looks to take Bullying on to "big screen" and create a national movement for action and education.  I urge you to visit this site and learn about this incredibly important film.  I for one will be sure to see it.

AUTOR VISIT: Kevin O'Malley

3/7/2012

Today was a fun day for the students at Granby Elementary.  We had a very entertaining author visit from Kevin O'Malley .  Mr. O'Malley takes with the entire third and fourth grade student body about he development as an author.  He was full of trick and silly faces and the students thought he was hilarious.  It was nice to see an author talking to the students about his craft and not talking at them.
