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.
