Prevailing Winds

Submitted by alyssa.mathis on

     Prevailing Winds came and performed at Riverview Elementary.  They had an amazing performance! They picked songs that everyone enjoyed.  They taught us about their woodwind instruments.
     The musicians were Jeannine Goeckenitz on the flute; Bonnie Schrueder on the oboe; Anita Miller on the French horn; Luke Phiel on the bassoon; and Scott Harris on the clarinet.
     We all want them to come play for us again!

Who Wants To Be An Opera Star?

Submitted by alyssa.mathis on

The Utah Opera performed for Riverview Students.  The opera performers had a game show called “Who Wants To Be An Opera Star.” The game show introduced students to the opera world.  Students learned about opera terms including an aria, duet, tutti, props, and costumes.  Students were able to listen and identify soprano, mezzo soprano, and tenor voices.  They performed songs with great emotion and the students were able to identify the emotion.  This was a fun way to learn more about opera.  Thank you Utah Opera! 

First Grade Butterflies

Submitted by alyssa.mathis on

The first grade classes had the opportunity to watch and observe the life cycle of a butterfly. They observed the caterpillars' behavior and the making of a chrysalis. They loved watching the butterflies emerge from their chrysalis. The butterflies were beautiful. Some butterflies even came back to play!
