How about a canon? What's that you say? STS Grade 3 students and up should know that a canon is where you sing the same song but start at different times. Check it out and give it a try!!! #rvsed @SarahThompsonSc

Anyone else missing singing? This is a 3 part song called 'One Bottle of Pop'. See if you can learn each of the parts. For a challenge, see if you can sing one part while a friend sings another part!!! Have fun! #rvsed @SarahThompsonSc
