Noteworthy

· The kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students are all working on preparing for their Christmas concerts on Dec. 17th. Kindergarten students should wear Christmas colors to the concert, and 1st and 2nd graders had a list of costumes sent home. If you need to see it again, feel free to check out the elementary music website: http://www.webbervilleschools.org/jfilipiak/ More concert information will be coming home soon, so be on the lookout!

· 3rd and 4th graders are working on violins this month! 3rd grade students will learn how to play the open strings in guitar and shoulder position. We also hope to add some additional notes by the end of the month. 4th graders will be reviewing what they did in 3rd grade, and then adding bows!

· 5th graders are continuing their focus on recorders, which is excellent because recorders take everything we have learned in the last 5 years and help us put it into practice! Note naming, beat, rhythms, form, phrases, rests, note values, dynamics, time signatures, and many more musical topics are addressed through our adventures in Recorder Karate. Please encourage your child to practice at home. We already have several orange belts walking around Webberville Elementary J

Catch you next time we have something noteworthy!
