Hello!
Happy Catholic School's week! I look forward to seeing all of you off and on this week. Last night's Dad's Spaghetti dinner and Night of Entertainment was fantastic and can't wait to participate in all of the activities planned for us this week.
Highlights for the month:
K-3rd: We have spend the month doing two things: learning about different cultures through song and story and getting ready for our Friday performance for our Grandparents/Special friends! Come check out the performance Friday morning!
4th: RECORDERS! We are working our way through the Recorder Karate book. So far Hot Cross Buns has been an instant hit and look forward to seeing how the students do with the rest of the songs. Please make sure to have your 4th grade student practicing 3 times a week for 5-10 minutes.
5th: We are working on the structure of music. What kind of pattern does it have? How can we identify those patterns?
4th/5th grade parents: Permission forms will go home next week about our OR Symphony trip.
6th: Back to the book we go after our first concert in December. This month and next we really get through some pages in the band book. Beware of quizzes!
7th band: Back to the book for us as well! We are getting some much needed new rhythms--16th notes--under our belts as well as some new scales. Also beware of quizzes!
6/7 band: We are marching!!! Junior Rose Festival parade here we come! Put Wednesday, June 6th at 1pm on your calendars! Watch out for a note home in the coming weeks that will discuss marching practice.
7/8 music: European music history is our theme this winter. We are taking notes, watching videos, singing songs all based on music that has been around the last few hundred years.
Have a great CSW week!
Mrs. Miller
