This week we will be hosting open elementary music classes . These classes are designed for parents to come in and view what students are learning in Music class. Each lesson will have a curriculum focus and will hopefully provide students with a safe, small environment for their first performance of the year. Each class is scheduled during music class time. Students are allowed to dress out of uniform for the day of their performance.
Girls: A dress or skirt
Boys: Collared shirt (polo is fine) and nice trousers

INSECT BOOKS:
I am starting to send home some INSECT books as an option for you to read to your child every night.

You don’t have to read the whole book in one day and you don’t have to read all the pages in the book. Take your time and choose which pages to read to them.
