Can you guess what I am baking today? Gingerbread cookies! Guess who I am thinking of as I bake these cookies. All of my wonderful concert performers in the classrooms of Mrs. Fecay, Ms. St. George, and Mrs. Stipanovich.
I wish all of my students and teacher friends a wonderful and Happy Holiday, Merry Christmas and Happy and Blessed New Year!
Yes, we have a second Cadet Pin awardee! Congratulations Gregory! He has joined rank with Christian. These two you g men also had the pleasure of playing two songs at thenHowe Christmas Sing-along Concert. Here is a photo of our new Cadet and below that are two videos of the two of them warming up in our classroom before the concert. It is no exaggeration to say that they performed even better during the concert performance.
We have 4 new pins to award to each student once they pass specific requirements. The Pin chart can be downloaded from their Google Classroom site. Please encourage your child to practice at home everyday. Just being in the class is not enough to learn to play an instrument. It really takes consistent practice and dedication.
McCullough students have been working very hard for our concerts this week. All students in grades Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd will perform song selections at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday morning in the gym at McCollough. All students in grades 3rd, 4th and 5th will perform on Friday morning. We would love to see all of our parents in attendance of these two concert performances.
A reminder that if you plan to make a video of our performance or take pictures please do so from your seats. I plan to have a video camera set up to record the concert for you all. The video will be posted as a private link on YouTube. I will share that link with you so you can enjoy the video from home.
Here are some links to help you get to the material quickly for Friday morning.
There is also a DVD provided for you to show the students.
Maples students have been learning about the Nutcracker Ballet and story. Today we created a dance to go along wiht the Chinese Dance from the ballet. Here are two classes demonstrating our dance.
Congratulations to our first recipient of the Cadet Pin!
