VSH General Music
Monday- Thursday, 1st period
Welcome to Music Class!
1. First things first!
This music exploration course is mandatory for all sixth-grade students at the Virtual School House. The class will be held only in Microsoft Teams with assignments, quizzes, and test in Edgenuity. We will be delving deeper into topics such as: songwriting, poetry, drumming, science of sound, art, international music, movie music, and much, much more. This will be a fun quarter! 😊
SCHEDULE
Monday- Fridays during 1st period on Microsoft Teams
Attendance
- Ongoing: Attendance for the 2022-2023 school year will be based on work completion. Every assignment will have a specific due date in EdGenuity and will have one additional week to complete before the item is closed for completion. Once the assignment is closed, the attendance for the original due date will be posted in Power School.
For example: Unit 1 Quiz 3 - due Thursday 8/18. Closes Thursday 8/25. At the end of the SCHOOL DAY (3:15) on the 25th the attendance for 8/18 will be inputted on Power School based on the completion of that assignment.
