Music Notes

We are off to a great start in music this year! Boy do we have some excellent singers at Bauer! In fact, we have even started practicing some of our songs for the Holiday Program. I'm sure you are wondering why you are hearing those songs so early in the fall. The reality is I only have 9 or 10 classes with each group before the program. Yep, that brings us to the end of November! We also have been working on steady beat in all grade levels. We love playing some music games to have fun reviewing and internalizing the beat. Our fourth graders have also started recorders. We've almost got all the squeaks out! We are excited to be singing and playing in our music classes!

How to Create a Tech-Ready Home: Embracing the Tension between Careful, Countercultural, and Confident (Parents and Caring Adults, 14+)

Although it’s not possible to create an internet-safe home, it is possible to create one that is internet SAFER. After well over a thousand presentations to parents, grandparents, and caregivers just like you and countless conversations, we’ve observed what it takes to have kids learn to use technology well. And we call it the PYE Core Values. This presentation breaks down these 5 foundational ideas.


Do you know what’s better than any parental control? Do you know why your router is the most
important digital device in your home? Do you understand the toxic trio? Do you know why TikTok is so intoxicating to young brains? Get ready for a ton of practical tips, solutions, and ideas you can implement.


Our desired outcomes include:

  • A deep understanding of why multiple layers of protection are necessary and how they work together.
  • Awareness of the hardware and software tools that support your digital goals.
  • How to use practical solutions so that your family is prepared, balanced, and protected online.
