5th Grade Music Program
Mark your calendars!! We are having a winter 5th Grade Program this year!
What: “A Holiday of Music”
Where: Martin Warren Elementary School Gymnasium
When: Tuesday, December 6th at 6:00 p.m.
All 5th Grade Martin Warren students will be performing together.
The following is only a suggestion of what to wear to the program. We would rather a student come and participate than not come because they didn’t have the “appropriate” attire. Students could wear the nicest thing they have, which could mean boys in a button-down shirt, black slacks, and a tie and girls could wear a dress, long skirt, or nice slacks.
Students should be at Martin Warren Elementary by 5:45 p.m. Drop them off in their regular classroom when they arrive. Each class will go to the gym together as a group.
It is our hope that every child participates in the performance. These performances are important and treasured memories that last a lifetime. Plus, we have a little bit of fun, too! Please make this a family event you will talk about (and share the pictures of) for years to come.
Winter Parties are December 15!!
4th Grade will be 1:15 - 2:00 p.m.
5th Grade will be 2:30 - 3:15 p.m.
Read for 15 Minutes Each Day to Earn Rewards!!
12 Days of Holiday for Teachers & Staff!!
Remember to send in your items to shower our staff with love. The last day is a note for your
child’s teacher from you and/or your child. If there is a staff member that your child wants to
show gratitude for, please encourage that gesture as well. Thanks for supporting us as we
support your student. Happy Holidays!
Recorders for 5th Grade ONLY!!
As a part of our District’s music curriculum, 5th graders will be learning to play the soprano recorder in music class. Purchasing a recorder is fairly inexpensive.
In the past, we have required all students to purchase the Peripole soprano recorder from Martin Warren. The Peripole recorders include a zipper case, cleaning rod, and a neck strap. We are no longer requiring families to purchase this specific recorder. You may use any recorder, but please make sure that it is:
A soprano recorder
The recorder uses the Baroque fingering system.
If you would like to purchase a recorder from the school, the price is $10. Return payment with your child to the Martin Warren Elementary office secretary in a secure envelope. Please make all checks payable to Martin Warren Elementary.
Your child will keep this recorder in his/her locker at school, and will bring it to music class. Your child is responsible for bringing their recorder to music class. They will have music every third day. All recorders will be sent home at the end of the school year.
Your child will need to have their recorder in their locker by January 4th (the first day of school after Winter Break).
