Notes from Choir
Welcome to Choir!!!
We survived Week One!
Students should have brought home the "First Day of School Packet" yesterday. There is an opportunity for you to help out with various areas of choir this year and a place for you and your student to sign that you've read the packet. Please take the time to mark the concert dates on your family calendars. You are going to want to see these kids perform!
We have emphasized the expectations of the class, as well as how the choir room will be a safe space. We did a "Sit Down/Stand Up" exercise in all of our choirs today. It was eye opening to see how much we are all alike, but at the same time celebrating our differences. Your students were open and honest and respectful. We will continue to know each other and show empathy to our peers as the year progresses.
Finally, all choir students need to have a folder with pockets on both sides and loose leaf paper in the middle. I will be taking a grade on Wednesday that students have both their folder and the signed packet form.
I'm looking for a great year. I do try very hard to send out a weekly e-mail on Fridays to keep you all up to date on what's happening in choir! Hope to be able to see you all at our Open House on Tuesday at 6:00.
Finally, please don't ever hesitate to reach out to me via phone or e-mail if you need anything.
