Christmas Program...December 12th at 6:30 pm!

It is approaching quickly.  The Christmas program is almost upon us.  The students are ready and very excited to share all their hard work with our wonderful community.  Please mark your calendars. All students. PreK-6th grade should arrive by 6:00  and report to their classrooms (homerooms). More details to come via email and on this blog so keep checking back!

Pre-K and Kindergarten

Students are working on rhythm, tempo and pitch.  They are working hard on their songs for the Christmas program as well.  They are all very excited to show everyone their singing talent.


1st - 5th Grade

The students sound absolutely amazing!!!  It is so exciting to see the progress and we are all excited for the program so everyone can hear how hard these children have worked.

2nd-5th grade students have their quiz on the lines and spaces of the treble (G clef) and bass (F clef) on Tuesday, November 19th.  We have been working on these for 4 weeks now and have been reviewing every week in class.  They even had a study guide that looks exactly like their test paper to study off of for the past 4 weeks.  I think they are all ready and will do a fabulous job.


6th Grade

I can't say enough about how wonderful this class is and how amazing they sound.  These students have worked and practiced very hard and will just blow our audience away at the Christmas program.  They are just incredible and it has been such a joy to work with such willing and hard working students.


7th Grade

This is going to be a very interesting production.  They are working hard at making sure they know their lines and follow stage directions as well.  It is not easy to do and they are really coming along.  Keep up the hard work!

There will be 2 after school rehearsals starting the first week in December.  Emails will be sent out on the specific dates and times.


8th Grade

This is going to be the best melodrama yet!  They are working so very hard and it is really coming along very well.  It is such a blessing to be working with them and have this opportunity.  I am looking forward to watching this all come together for a really great show!

The Countdown Begins

There are only 4 class periods left of rehearsals for the Christmas program!  Mark your calendars for December 12th.  

Pre-K-6th Grade students are practicing so hard and are sounding angelic.  They are very excited to sing the songs and share them with all of our CCCS community.  

The Kindergarten through 5th grade are continuing to learn, at various levels, the lines and spaces of the treble and bass clefs, the value of specific notation and classifying these notes by playing a variety of games and online activities.  The 2nd-5th graders will be having a short quiz on the lines and spaces of the treble and bass clef on November 19th and 20th.  The students have a study guide for this quiz and have had it for 2 weeks.  The quiz will look exactly like that guide.  We are also reviewing this same guide every week together on the board.  

7th Grade students are working on the Christmas program play.  It will be nice to see the final production with all the music on December 12th.  Students should continue to work on their lines and improving their characterizations.  We are really working on exaggerating and emphasizing the lines more to bring the characters to life.  It is a work in progress, but it is getting better.

8th Grade students are doing a phenomenal job acting the melodrama.  It is such a blessing to see students come completely out of their element and have a blast acting out a comedy.  It has been an honor to be a part of such a great production and with an amazing group of students.
