School of Groove and Rock and Roll Daycare will be holding an incredible music event on Friday, May 30, 2014, at Jordan Hall, a national landmark, and considered to be among the best concert halls in the world today. Featuring performances by School of Groove faculty, students and bands. The show will also be the debut of the Rock and Roll Daycare Band.
This is an outstanding performance opportunity for everyone, however, the cost of renting such a wonderful venue is substantial. The total rental fee is $4200, however to secure the date, we need to raise $2100 by June 30 of this year. Concert tickets will be general admission at $20 and we are seeking to raise money for the initial deposit by pre-selling tickets and donations.
We are only able to hold the event if we are able to raise $2100 by June 30, 2013, otherwise we will have to cancel. If you would like to help us make this a possibility, please make a pledge of any amount. Once we reach our target goal by pledges we will contact you to collect such money as has been pledged.

New Montessori Toy at Rock and Roll Day Care! Dressing Frame: Zipper
Over the next coming weeks, we will be introducing new Montessori Toys into the classroom. The new toy for this week is the Dressing Frame Zipper!
“Jerome Pohlen, a former elementary school science teacher, has given kids and parents an excellent educational opportunity with his new book, “Albert Einstein and Relativity for Kids: His Life and Ideas with 21 Activities and Thought Experiments” (Chicago Review Press).
The book is largely a biography of Einstein (1879-1955), presenting his life to a young audience — it’s aimed at readers 9 and older — who might know his name but not a lot about him.
“Albert Einstein and Relativity for Kids” is one of a series of books from Chicago Review Press aimed at young readers. Also in the series are “Isaac Newton and Physics for Kids” by Kerri Logan Hollihan, and “Darwin and Evolution for Kids” by Kristan Lawson.”
LA Times: Turning trash into musical instruments for Paraguay’s children
A trailer for a new documentary about Favio Chavez, a local ecologist and musician who is teaching the children of Cateura to play music on recycled instruments, has been circulating online at a rather feverish pace. The joy of the boy playing Bach on an oil-drum cello is difficult not to share.
