Yeah, I wrote that right. I have to brag on Nick a little bit here. His class is studying the different kinds of rocks, and they're working in groups. They were instructed to come up with a way to present information about the 3 types of rocks they're learning about. So his group decided to make up a song to the tune of "Bad to the Bone". Last night he wrote the lyrics. Then he pulled out his saxophone to do the "dum da da dum" part and couldn't quite get it to work. So he put the sax away and pulled out his guitar (which he just got for Christmas) and figured it out, and practiced it for a little while.
Today they had to present their information to their class. Their teacher was so impressed, that she called her daughter's teacher whose class is studying it too, but on a primary level. That teacher happens to be on the team I work with, so I got to see his "performance" (with his group singing). It was pretty good and the younger kids (1st graders) LOVED it! Since all of the students will eventually be learning this same theme in Science before summer, we're going to see about either letting them perform it for other classes as they request it, or having them do it for a taping to show on the school's news show.
I just had to brag a little bit! This kid could be a musical genius if he put his mind to it.....and if we could get him some lessons. LOL
