Our November song of the month is "Now Thank We All Our God". I've told the students it's "an oldie, but a goodie". The hymn has endured for over 300 years! When I attended a John Angotti (a Catholic composer and performer) concert at Wahlert last month, he spoke of how important it is for our children to know traditional hymns, so that inspired me to use "Now Thank We All Our God" since it is so appropriate for Thanksgiving. It is a little more difficult for the younger children to learn, but we'll get there.
We've had the pleasure of having a Loras student be with us for about a month now. Andrea Rouchka is a music ed. major who will have spent 20 hours with us by Dec. 7th. She's mostly observed our music classes, but has joined in some of our activities and will teach one of the Pre-K classes a song next week. It is always exciting to work with future teachers and show how special and rewarding working with elementary children can be! Andrea told me she has really enjoyed her time in our school.
