Ten Suzuki Students Finish the 30- Day Challenge
When South Shore Conservatory Suzuki Guitar Instructor George Little presented his students with a special 30-day challenge, he was delighted to find that ten of them accomplished this with flying colors. Roy and Rose Cataudella, Eli and Josh Peters, Nicolas Harati, Jack Warren, Eli Webber, Brän James, Tyler Schnauck and Larry Ogola were among the students to have completed the challenge. According to Little, the rules were simple: 30 days no misses. The amount of time students needed to practice depended upon their age. The formula was three times their age in minutes for a minimum to equal 1 day of practice. For example a four-year-old, needed to practice 12 minutes minimum per day, a seven-year-old needed to practice 21 minutes per day. The Conservatory congratulates these students on their impressive accomplishment!

Old One Hundred
SSC kindergarten class celebrates their one hundredth day of school
On March 4, the kindergarten class celebrated their one hundredth day of school. This action- packed day was filled with math, science, and literacy activities involving 100; including self portraits of what they will look like at 100 years old. Each child also presented 100 of something they had gathered, collected or constructed to make a one hundred’s museum. New this year, the kindergartners organized themselves to form the number 100 on the lobby floor. Miss Karen’s pictures say 100 words!
