The instruments will come in handy as you and your family celebrate the New Year with your own music!  

 

A list of materials you might want to have available are: 

Any clean recyclable items paper towel tubes, cereal boxes, cardboard boxes, paper lunch bags, old metal spoons, paper or plastic plates or cups, plastic water bottles, clean food containers, jars with lids. 

 

Dry rice, beans, small stones, anything that makes a sound when put in a container.  

 

School Supplies Needed are: rubber bands, staples, tape, glue and safe scissors. 

As Greg says, if you drop it and hear a ring bring it with you and some string. 

Don't forget you can decorate your item if you have decorative paper or stickers! 

Basically look around your house for anything that combined with another object will make noise! Greg will be live on zoom and can see what you have in front of you and make suggestions for what you can do with the stuff you have already.  

 

Suitable for all ages even if you have two paper plates and a box of Cheerio's from preschoolers to adults! Program is also good for adults. Ms. Chris will also be participating with an assortment of items. Let's make music together to bring in a happy New Year. 

 

 

Former President Trump is in court again today as his criminal hush money trial resumes. Jurors are once again hearing testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who gave details this week on how he protected Trump from negative stories leading up to the 2016 presidential election. Trump faces felony charges of falsifying business records to cover up payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an alleged affair.       President Biden is the first sitting president to be interviewed by Howard Stern. He made a surprise appearance on the Howard Stern Show Friday morning, with the interview being announced just minutes before it happened. The first part of the interview focused on Biden's political career while also touching on the 1972 accident that killed his first wife and daughter.        Inflation is still on the rise, according to a new economic report. The Commerce Department says personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy rose two-point-eight-percent from March 2023 to March 2024. When food and energy are included, the increase was two-point-seven-percent.        The U.S. is calling on China to stop supporting Russia's war on Ukraine. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing today. Blinken told reporters he raised concerns with Chinese officials over the country's support for Russia's military. Blinken, however, did not respond to a question over whether the U.S. would be willing to impose sanctions on China.        Gas prices are up slightly heading into the weekend. Triple-A reports the national average for a gallon of regular is three-dollars-and-66-cents, up a penny from yesterday. Drivers are paying 13 cents more than a week ago. The lowest gas prices are being seen in Mississippi at three-oh-eight a gallon, while commuters in California continue to see the highest prices at the pump with a gallon costing an average of five-40.       Eminem's new album "The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace)" [[ coo-day-grah ]] is dropping this summer. He made the announcement just before making an appearance at the NFL draft in Detroit, releasing a trailer for the album right after. It shows a true crime reporter talking about the rapper's alter ego's death. This is Eminem's 12th studio album.
