Hi,
there are a bunch of ways to get in touch with me.
I am pretty busy all day so the best way
to get in touch with me is by email.
jalvaro@abs.misd.net
You can always give me a call at school and leave a message.
586.725.7541.
Please ask the secretary to leave me a note in my mailbox to let me know you called.
Or you could just send me a note.
I will get back with you as quickly as I can no matter
what method you choose to use.

Hello Fifth Graders! I just wanted to wish all of you a VERY, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope you remember who I am! Your class was one of my most FAVORITE classes. I am not just saying that because my kid (Derek Goerke) is in your class. I’m saying that because I thought you were well-behaved, hard workers, and you were always kind to each other! I LOVE that about kids! And I have to admit, you are all pretty special because you are friends with my son (Derek Goerke)! I CANNOT wait for your play on December 13th. I’m counting down the days! I miss you guys! Have a GREAT holiday! I hope Santa is good to you!
Mrs. Goerke

This weeks Beatles fact:
Before writing “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” George Harrison randomly picked up a book on a shelf, opened it and read the first word he saw. The word was ‘gently.’

This weeks Beatles fact:
“Flying”, from the 1967 release Magical Mystery Tour, was the first song credited as being written by all four members of The Beatles. The writing credit is attributed to “Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starr”. It’s a simple 12-bar blues chord progression instrumental track, though it does include some chanting.
It was rare for The Beatles to record instrumentals, and it was also rare for a song to be credited to all four members of the band.
“Flying” was originally titled “Aerial Tour Instrumental”.

Beatles news:
Talk about big music news: Paul McCartney’s son James says he would consider forming The Beatles — The Next Generation with Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr’s son).
“I don’t think it’s something that Zak wants to do,” he told the BBC. “Maybe Jason [another of Starr's sons and also drummer] would want to do it. I’d be up for it. Sean seemed to be into it, Dhani seemed to be into it. I’d be happy to do it.”

This weeks Beatles fact:
On 30 January 1969, the Beatles performed an unannounced live concert on the roof top of their Apple headquarters in 3 Savile Row, London. The show lasted 42 minutes, and the group performed live versions of Get Back, I’ve Got A Feeling , The One After 909, Dig A Pony and Don’t Let Me Down. It was a cold and windy day in London, and John Lennon complained that his hands were too cold to play the chords.

This weeks Beatles fact:
Eleanor Rigby’s grave is located in the graveyard of St Peter’s Parish Church in Woolton, Liverpool, within yards of the spot where John and Paul met for the first time in 1957. However, the song Eleanor Rigby has according to Paul McCartney nothing to do with this gravestone. McCartney has said the name Rigby is taken from a shop in Bristol and that Eleanor is taken from actress Eleanor Brown, who starred in the Beatles movie Help!

Enjoy your Easter Break and be safe.
