Upcoming Music Programs in April

The 1st Grade music program "Go Fish" will be presented Thursday, April 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Langston Hughes gym.  Students will need to report at 6:15 p.m. to their classrooms. Students may wear a blue or green shirt or something with an Ocean/Fish theme as well as jeans or shorts.  All students will need a pair of sunglasses.  If they have a special part I will be letting you know that they need to wear when I send home speaking parts after spring break.

The 2nd grade music program "Sing For Earth Day" will be presented Thursday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Langston Hughes gym.  Students will need to report at 7:15 p.m. to their classrooms. Please do not come before 7:00 p.m. as the gym will be full of 1st grade parents and students and parking will be an issue.  Students may wear a colored shirt(Green, Blue or Brown) or something with an Earth or Recycle theme as well as jeans or shorts.

Thanks for your help and support!  The Students are working hard to make it a great performance!!
Please let me know if you have any questions.

4th Grade Treble Clef Testing

The 4th graders are busy learning the lines and spaces of the treble clef.  Each student was given a set of flash cards  to help them prepare for the test. Students will have five minutes to finish 60 problems. I will take the best score of three tests. If they get 100% on the 60 problem test they get to try a longer test with 96 problems. This is a challenge as they will have the same five minutes to complete the longer test.  Success on the tests will help them as we continue playing recorders and help build a foundation for future music endeavors in the secodary schools. 4th grade parents if you could please remind them to study that would be very helpful.

Kindergarten Music Program

The Kindergarten music program “Gettin' Down Again With Mama Goose” will be presented at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 4 in the Langston Hughes gym. Students will need to report at 6:15 p.m. to their classrooms. Students may wear nice dress clothes.
Each student was given a CD for at home practice. This will help the students with memorization as they do not have music class every day. Any questions please email srobinso@usd497.org.
Thanks for your help and support! Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Demasio
