Our class has joined twitter! As we begin our science unit on the Solar System, we are following Canadian Astronaut, Chris Hadfield, on twitter as he tweets live from the International Space Station! We are really enjoying the amazing photos he is posting of his views from space and videos he creates about how things work living in space. Aside from these, another very exciting thing is happening while this astronaut is in space – he is helping to write a song for Music Monday, which is celebrated on the first Monday of May all across Canada. Check out this article for more information:

Ed Robertson said some really nice things about the song we wrote & how music education was vital, growing up Canadian music.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2013/1…

We can’t wait for the premiere of the song on February 8!
