Welcome back to school. I am excited to be back at Williams. We have a lot of things planned this year. For example we will be doing a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration in October, the Winter concert in December, Black History Month celebration in February, as well as other performances. We will still have grade specific instruments but our focus for singing will be songs from around the world.
We will have chorus and band this year. Forms will be given out after Labor Day.
The music website will be as interactive as possible. You can leave comments about what's going on for a particular week. All comments will be moderated! We have the music calendar for you to use. I will have it updated with events for class and after school activities. I will send reminders via email for important things like quizzes or bring paper to music. I have listed the books we use in 3rd-5th grade under the pages tab in case you want to buy them so your child can practice more at home. Also, while you're here please take the time to review the grading procedure and expectations for music. Thank you so much. If you ever need to contact me please feel free to email me by clicking on the link or call me at the school 955-6719. Finally, if you ever need any music supplies, please visit one of the local music stores in town. I have provided links under Links heading. I suggest visiting the one that is closest to your neighborhood.
This week we are reviewing rules and procedures for music. The rules are in line with the overall school rules and for many students this is review.
