The ‘science of strings’ results in beautiful music at Elda Elementary
Elda Elementary’s second and third graders are learning about instruments in the string family, according to Principal Deborah Johnsen.
The students are learning to play the dulcimer as they explore the science of stringed instruments. Brenden Combs and Alex Schuler are sharing a dulcimer purchased with funds from the Elda PTO. Students learn how different sounds are produced through vibration and the length of the strings as they strum and pluck the instrument. Stacy Smith, Elda’s music teacher, is thankful to the PTO for making purchases that support students having hands-on experiences with music.

TweetNaturalist visits with Elda Elementary first graders
The new year has brought lots of new and exciting learning opportunities in first grade at Elda Elementary, reports Principal Deborah Johnsen. Students in Kayla Klapper’s class had lots of fun learning about animal needs and habitats during a special lesson with EMU Naturalist, Sharon Edwards. Students enjoyed the outdoor learning environment that Elda’s Nature Center provides and were able to make some meaningful connections to the science units they have been focusing on over the past few weeks in the classroom.
