Hello!
Happy Catholic School's week! I hope all of you have a great time with the dress up days as well as all of the special activities we have planned this week.
A few upcoming events:
Feb. 27th: 4th and 5th grade are heading out to the Youth Concert presented by the Oregon Symphony. Field trip forms will be going home soon.
Apr. 24: Middle School Concert: all 6-8 will be performing!
Apr 25: 7th and 8th grade band are heading off to the Middle School Band festival!
May 8th: K-5 Spring concert
I know that all of you are not really thinking of the spring, but I wanted to at least put those dates on your home calendars/phones. =)
At the moment, the younger grades are listening to and learning more about other countries through stories and music. I hope that they have shared part of those songs with you!
4th grade has begun the recorder journey--we are starting to get past Hot Cross Buns and work on more "advanced" songs! Make sure that your 4th graders is practicing at home!
5th grade is working on how music is structured and follows a pattern.
6th grade is working on ties, dotted half notes, and learning more new notes!
7/8 band is beginning the sheet music which will be performed at their concert and the band festival! It is a little challenging, but I can't wait to hear it performed in a few months!
7/8 music has been working on the past: musically speaking. We have learned about the Baroque and Classical periods so far and will learn more about the other time periods next month.
Enjoy this fun, crazy week!
