Dear Parents,
Here's your May Newsletter. A hard copy should go home tomorrow with the Wednesday mail outs.
For our show and share this month, in honour of Music Monday, we're hoping you'll send in a song you really like for the class to listen to. Dancing and working to music is one of the students' favourite things, especially when we're tidying up.
Because technology can be challenging, a cd with the track number and song name clearly marked is best. If other arrangements need to be made, please let me know a couple of days in advance so we can upload the song onto one of our own devices beforehand.
I'll be asking students to tell me about the song. It's good for them to know what instruments or style of music the song belongs to, and also for them to be able to talk about why they like the song. Does it have a good beat? Is there an uplifting message? Does it make them laugh? Do they like to dance to it? All of these are valid responses, but sometimes kids need a bit of rehearsal so they know what they want to say.
Sincerely,
Ms. Goegan
