The hallways were filled with the sounds of young voices as the students prepared and rehearsed. The kindergarten classes performed songs about springtime and having fun outside. Singing songs such as “It’s a Beautiful Day,” “Born to Make Music,” “Springtime Sunshine,” and “Down at the Beach.”

The first-grade program was titled “Rainbow World.” Each song was about a color in the rainbow such as “Little Red Caboose,” “Honey Bee,” and “Purple Bricks in the Sky.” The students ended with “Paint You a Song,” a song about how wonderful it is to make music together.

Second graders performed a mini-musical called “Big Dreams.” The students sang, danced, and performed lines for their performance. The students learned about having dreams and pursuing them.

All of the students amazed their audience. Their hard work in music class and during the rehearsals was evident in the final performance.

First graders in Mrs. Brooks' class at Northwest Elementary School in Amityville held their own celebration to recognize King Charles III’s coronation.

Their class celebration was part of an ongoing study of the world and different cultures. King Charles III’s coronation was a historical moment as the last coronation of the British monarch was held for Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Students learned about traditions, used royal language, practiced proper etiquette, and shared scones and biscuits. They also learned the proper way to stir and drink tea using their plastic crystal cups, spoons and saucers. Lastly, students enjoyed an engaging word study with “Coronation Fundations.”
