4th Grade ONLY

“Hello Parents,

Students this rotation will be using BLUE practice logs to track their practicing of 3 Recorder Karate songs.  Students should know how to play all songs when they come to class this rotation.  Recorder Karate is winding down and I am so PROUD of students who have been dedicated to practicing their music.  They have truly met the standard of playing notes in Treble Clef on an instrument.  Please lets encourage them to keep practicing and turning in their logs on time.  Students who do not complete a log and turn in for a grade will have a failing grade at the end of the quarter.  All students who don’t complete a recorder log will be sent home with a THINK SHEET which is an alert to let you know that homework was not completed.  CONGRATULATIONS to those kids who have earned all 3 belts!!!  They have a FREE week of practice. I look forward to hearing some great music.

Thanks

Ms. Mungin”

In addition, the week has flown by and with early dismissal everyday, we did not have our full instructional times. We have decided that we would like to postpone our Spelling test for this week, so that the students can have more class time to practice the concepts behind their words. Our test will now be next Friday October 28th.

      Additionally, we will be having a post test on our fire safety unit that we just completed. This will be held on Wednesday October 26th. Students received a study guide today and they may also use their fire safety booklet that they brought home to study.
