Grade 4 did a super job singing for the Silent Auction. I loved seeing all of the parents who came to support the children - thanks!
Third grade showcase was fun and exciting. This has been a spectacular group! I hope to see ALL of these students in vocal next year! Each one has done so well!!!
Second/First/Kindergarten have been learning the theme songs for the Nutcracker. Ask your child to sing a little piece of one they remember (they love the Russian Dance words most....)
Have a wonderful holiday break! Sing and Celebrate being together!
Let me first say thank you to every vocal parent who has entrusted their child's musical development to me. I find my job to be an incredible honor and responsibility. I can assure you that I do not take the responsibility lightly. I work hard to provide the best musical experience for my students.
Please consult the vocal handbook (for grades 4-5). It is a storehouse of information with most questions and answers you'll need all year. Please keep it handy to refer to all year as well.
JWJ Grade Level Music Objectives, National Music Standards, and State Arts Standards can be provided to you by request.
To keep on top of what we are doing in Vocal Music, open your child's agenda and read his/her daily vocal music entries. Each entry is written by your child and is a short summary of our lesson focus.
There was a strange event of miscommunicated arts/vocal fees this year....so sorry for any confusion. A letter has been sent home to grades 3-5 to clarify the fee amount and its uses. Grades 4&5 Vocal Fee is $20 and Grade 3 Arts Enrichment Fee is $10. The K-2 Arts Enrichment Fees are $5.
Please e-mail me through this site if you have any concerns, suggestions, questions, or comments.
