Our student teacher this semester, Mr. Hadwick, made a great impression on the Thurston students. He taught everyone so many things in his 9 weeks with us. One thing he shared with the students was his favorite a cappella group, "The King's Singers." The 3rd and 5th graders also worked on playing this song on ukulele. The 5th graders saw the same piece performed by Elton John and compared the two. It was magical to watch the students see this video. Most of them sat silently and still for the entire video. The harmonies are beautiful. Here are both versions.
