Jefferson Choir

Greetings!
I have just told the students about a wonderful opportunity that we have here at Jefferson. The Jefferson choir is a chance for 4th and 5th graders who love music to have some extra opportunities. Rehearsal are Wednesday mornings at 7:45-8:30 and we have one concert on April 30th

There is more information on the paper I sent home (and attached here) so please read it over and have your child fill it out and return it if they are interested. The choir is open to all and is optional. The paper says that they are due tomorrow, but I will also take them Monday of next week. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks

Recorder Letter

Greetings Parents!
THis week you should see a letter come home about purchasing a recorder for class use. Please read it over and make sure it gets back to me by Friday January 17th. I am asking each child to return one of these papers so that I know how many recorders I need to order.

Thanks so much for everything you do to help support music at home

Music Homework – Melodic composition DRMSL

Greetings!
You should see a music paper come home this week. THis was a chance for your child to compose their own melody using all the notes of the pentatonic scale (do re mi sol la) in either simple (4/4) or compound (6/8) meter. Students were then given the choice for how they would perform their song: either on xylophone or singing. This is something that uses previously learned information and was being used as a diagnostic to see what students level of competency was with the concepts.

Please do the following:
1. read the paper
2. have your child sing through their song (if they can)
3. sign the paper
4. have your child bring it back for credit.

Let me know if you have any questions. thanks for helping your child gain extra music practice at home with this assignment. I am also including a blank copy here if you do not see it come home.
