Featured Specialist: Melyssa Stone, Music

The Rocket Reader will be featuring select staff and specialists throughout the year.  With a total of seven new staff members this year and a growing community, we’ll take time every few weeks, using a question and answer format, to introduce a classroom teacher or specialist.

First, a few words from Ms. Stone:
“Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I'm very excited to be here, and it was such a treat meeting so many of you at Curriculum Night. I can tell that music is very much in the foundation of QAE and I'm excited to continue that tradition in a more formal setting.

QAE is an outstanding community of learners and supporters, and I feel that support already. I'm humbled to be a part of your school and am eager to see where music takes us this year. Come say hi!”

There were some common questions that came up at Curriculum Night that Ms. Stone will take on – here goes!

Where in the world is music?
I'm currently teaching in the far left portable behind the Treehouse. I'm working on coming up with a fun name for the space, but if you're gifted/interested in the area of decor, please let me know! I'll be working on getting the space looking like a warm learning environment over the next little while.

When are you here?
I'll be here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday mornings. After that I'm off to McDonald Elementary to finish out the week there.
