Notes From Ms. Hunter
Hello Cherokee Students and Parents,
I miss seeing you and hope that you are using this time to stay healthy and Sharpen Your Saw!
The activities listed below are for March 30th-April 3rd. If you would like extra music activities, all students can engage in the following :
*Start your morning with stretching! Exercise is good for your body and mind!
*Have a singing/karaoke night!
*Practice drawing notes and rests.
*Turn on music and sing and/or dance.
*Play Charades
*Read about a composer and write a short summary to share with your family.
RECORDER INFORMATION
*Fourth and Fifth grade students should NOT attempt to practice recorder while anyone at your house is working from home!
*For the third grade students that ordered recorders, you WILL get them. However, I am not certain when that will be.
If you have any questions, please email me. I will be checking my email often!
Musically Yours,
Ms. Hunter
