August 13th
What a week this has been!! We have had a full week, even though we have really had only 2 1/2 days!
I won't start with the K-5th grade kids until next week, but this week has been full with both my 6th grade "Introduction to Music" class as well as my 7/8th grade "Introduction to Music" class. We have spent this week in both classes laying a foundation for our work with music. We have been learning to not until read but write some music... working with the basic framework of the treble clef staff and the bass cleff staff. We have also learned about ledger lines. The kids have done really well with all this.
We have also listened to some music... learning how music can effect emotions and help tell a story. As part of our Music Appreciation, we are designating the final few minutes of Friday's class to contemporary soundtrack music... and/or musicals. A good soundtrack will go a long way to help a filmaker (storyteller) tell a story.
This is going to be a great year and I am already totally in love with your kids!! They are great and we are so thankful for each of them!
God bless and have a great weekend!
