This morning the students had a game of Baseball. It was a lot of fun! The students practiced throwing and catching, then played a quick game. Thank you to Jasmine who led the stretching and warm ups.

Garret brought in a electric guitar he created out of Lego. Using a special computer he programmed it to play and have the ability to tune like a real guitar. Very impressive!
