"Music Monday is an annual event that brings together thousands of students, musicians, parents and community members across the country to celebrate the gift of music in our lives, on the same day at the same time. The Coalition for Music Education launched Music Monday in 2005."
We started the day by gathering with the whole school to perform our new Stevenson School song "Reach for the Stars." We all stood outside and Mr. Miller recorded us from the roof!
This is a video of the song that was made so the students could learn the words. Soon we will have a new video to show you!
In the afternoon we watched a live broadcast from Astronaut Chris Hadfield in space.
"Astronaut Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson have collaborated between earth and space to co-write the official song for Music Monday 2013. The end-result features Hadfield playing the song from the International Space Station, while Robertson and the Wexford Gleeks, a TDSB school choir, join him to unite in song with schools and communities across our nation."
Mrs. Lowe will post a link to a recording of the broadcast as soon as it's available. Here's a video of the beautiful song.

We had lots of wonders about how Commander Hadfield does things in space so Mrs. Lowe showed us some very funny YouTube videos that explain how everything works up at the International Space Station.
We have lots of wonders about space. What do you wonder?
