The Birthday Project
Throughout the 2010-11 school year, various music classes have been recording special birthday songs for some of Mrs. Baldwin's education network friends. Some live around the United States, some live in Canada, and one even lives all the way in Australia!

After we sent the birthday songs to these people, Mrs. Baldwin asked them to send us a note of thanks. You can read a little more about where these people are from and read or listen to their thanks to us here:
