Week In Review
Pre-K and Kindergarten
Last week all the Pre-K students were given the opportunity to try the flute. Wow! There are some amazing, budding musicians. It was a lot of fun to finish out the orchestra family unit with playing a woodwind family instrument. This week we will begin working hard on our Christmas music for the Christmas program on December 12th. The Pre-K and the Kindergarten will be opening the show by performing a few songs of their own. They are very excited about sharing all the new music they have learned. Mark your calendars!
1st-5th Grade
Last week we finished up the orchestra family unit and will begin notation, values and treble and bass clef lines and spaces. This will be a review for some, but brand new to others. We will be applying this unit to recorders coming up very soon.
We have been working very hard on learning the 3 Christmas songs for the Christmas program on December 12. All the songs are uploaded onto Teacher Ease in the digital locker. Once again, please download and print out the lyrics for the students to practice at home. The teachers have been so incredibly helpful in singing the songs in the classrooms to help out. The only song that is new to many of the students is the Spanish verse of "Silent Night". They are working very hard to learn it and are anxious to sing it for you. I'm very proud of all of them.
Grade 6
The students are continuing to practice all the songs for the Christmas program. They sound fantastic!!! I am so excited for them and for how hard they have been working. It will really be a joy to see at the Christmas program.
Grade 7
Students are coming along nicely on the Christmas play. They all have just one more week to memorize their lines. It has been a real blessing watching these students stretch themselves and acting "out of the box".
Grade 8
This was a very productive week for the 8th grade! They had completed Act 1, Scene 1 without stopping with all the lines and stage directions memorized. It was great! They are to have Act 1, Scene 2 memorized by next week. It is really going to be a fabulous production. I couldn't be more proud of each and every one of these amazing students.
We are cleaning the stage on Saturday, October 26th from 9-11 am. Please mark your calendars and bring some gloves to use. See you there!
