This is our third week back from Winter break and we're almost starting to get back in the groove of things. Last week I was gone from SGS because the stomach flu invaded my household and this week was weird at RGS because half the 5th grade was gone on Wednesday for the Challenger field trip which they always look forward to! Since I only had half the band for full band on Wednesday, we went to the computer lab and played music games with the smart board! It was SO fun!! Here's a link to the website I found a ton of really cool music games. I told the students that if they play ANY of the games on this website during the week, they can add up to 15 minutes total to their practice record for the week. There are a lot of cool games on there and you don't have to download them or sign up for anything.
Like I said, it's the third week back and we're only starting to get back in the saddle completely...that's the biggest challenge of my once a week schedule. It really gets sticky when I'm sick one week, then your child is sick the next week, or there's ISTEEP testing, or Scantron, etc....Did you know that I post the homework from each week's lesson in the 5th grade hallway AND on the internet each week? My student should never have the excuse that they couldn't practice because they didn't know what the homework was. Here's the link to the homework page of my website. If ypur child misses their lesson during the week, please direct them to this website to find out what the homework was. If, for some reason, I have forgotten to post it, have them check the 5th grade hallway or call a friend.
Have a great weekend!
