The other adult in the picture is Mr. Eric Cuthill, who is serving as a student teacher in the room from the University of Phoenix.
This year Mrs. Valerie Corlett, the music specialist at Goshen Elementary, started the year off with the fourth graders learning how to play the recorder. The students have been very excited to learn how to play their first two notes on their new instruments. For some of them it is their first instrument to play. Soon they will be playing "Hot Cross Buns.” The students at Goshen are looking forward to playing all kinds of instruments this year.
Each year Goshen students are asked to complete a summer packet. The summer packet includes writing, math, and reading activities. Those students that finish it get to go to the Summer Packet Extravaganza at the beginning of the next school year. This year students had fun running around while eating snow cones, going on a slip and slide, winning cupcakes at the cake walk, and lots of other exciting activities.
