Tuscan Tiger Times, our student newspaper, gives 4th and 5th grade students a chance to publish an all-student paper under the guidance of parent volunteers during recess.   The PTA funds the printing of the paper and all grade students are invited to make submissions.

The TTT now has a blog where families can keep track of submission deadlines and find out how to join in the effort.   Volunteers are not limited to 4th and 5th grade families - help is always welcome!

Cultural Arts Assembly

10/16/2012

 
Yesterday we had the first PTA sponsored Student Assembly of the year, and how fun it was!
Caryn Lin presented us "From Bach to Rock, acoustic to electric violin". This program showed the kids the simplicity of the solo Acoustic Violin and its orgins demonstrated by performing a simple Bach minuet. Whisked into present day, Caryn uses the 4 & 5 string Electric Violin and Sound Effects to transcend that "solo" sound by doing what is called "Looping"- creating sound loops live that she adds to and embellishes.
It was on the spot recording creating a Virtual Orchestra!
From K all the way to 5th grade, every kid was so interested and participative! And when the wireless microphone was taken into the audience for more looping and sound effect fun, they were all anxious to participate! Teachers too!
 
For more info on Caryn Lin program, here's her website: www.carynlin.com
