The Incredible Story of the Recycled Orchestra


This week in library the 5th and 6th graders are learning about the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay.  I wanted to read this book to all of our students to see what an amazing thing it is for one teacher and a group of kids with a passion for music to transform their lives.  These families literally live in a land fill.  They work hard every single day.  They live in such poverty, yet they didn't let that stop them from following their dreams to play instruments.  We watched one video in library about Ada's Violin, but here is another video that shows the orchestra performing.  It is incredible that these instruments are all created from garbage.  What an amazing display of resilience! Kids, you must check out this book and read it cover to cover.  It is worth your time!
