Our 9 weeks of Music is almost over.  Thank you for sharing your children with me.  It has been fun to get to know them.  We have learned about several composers and done a little 50’s medley.  To culminate our 9 weeks we will have a 50’s party and sing through the medley.   This should take about 10 – 15 minutes.  We will celebrate with coke floats afterwards.  Thanks so much for the parents who have volunteered to send ice cream, cups, spoons, napkins, cokes, etc.  You are AWESOME.Please feel free to come and watch your kiddos sing!  We will begin at 2:30 in the choir room(This is a little different than our normal time because of the pep rally going on that day)Do not feel any pressure to come.  I just wanted them to have a fun activity to finish out the reporting period.If you are coming, you are welcome to stay for the pep rally afterwards.  I do need just a couple of moms/dads that would help with serving the floats!Also, make sure the students are dressed in 50’s clothes.  They can choose to wear these all day or change right before class or after P.E. – whatever works best for them.  It will just need to be a fast change.  We will wear our 50’s clothes to the pep rally!Thank you so much for sharing your most prized possession!

This week we will be rehearsing and preparing
