Music
In music class, we are honing our instrument playing skills. Kindergarten is practicing handbells for the piece they are playing for the Holiday Concert coming up Thursday, December 10 at 5:30 pm.
First and Second grades are practicing "Jingle Bells" on the glockenspiels for their Holiday Concert coming up Thursday, December 10 at 6:00 pm.
Third, Fourth and Fifth are practicing "Jingle Bells" on the recorders for their Holiday Concert coming up on Thursday, December 10 at 7:00 pm.
Yes, there are three different concerts due to the fact that SO many people want to attend our AWESOME concerts that there's not enough room for everyone! That's why we split the grades up in this way.
Also, don't forget that the PTA Meeting on Tuesday, November 17 is Military and First Responders appreciation night and K-5 is invited to sing "God Bless The USA" and the Performing Arts Club will be performing "The Rising". As always, if you have any questions or would like more information, please email Ms. Markas.
