Hello Orchestra Bulldogs! It is sunny at the moment. I'm a SW fan so May the Fourth be with you. This is also teacher appreciation week. I'm going to turn it into student appreciation week. I miss our rehearsals and you so much. Keep coming here each week and then going to Seesaw and do your assignments. This week will be a little different.
1. Do your 100 minutes practice chart in Seesaw. This week all classes will be able to practice whatever then like. Sinfonia(8th grade class) you will find a new song in your Teams. Go to Teams, Files, then the folder with Star Wars: The Force Awakens parts if you would like a new piece to work on. Also this Thursday, May the 7th is my birthday. For that day i would like you to take the minutes that you practice, write them down in your log, and then - - do something else that makes your happy! Practice your favorite piece. jump around and sing and dance. watch your 5 favorite TikTok videos, Play some Zelda, go for a run, read a book, write a poem, draw some art (you know how i like to post your art in my room) Just have fun. It's my birthday gift to you. Those minutes will count on your practice chart no matter what you do with them. just write Happy Birthday on the chart on Thursday with those number of minutes. 2. You will still have a Web Wednesday so look for that on 5/6 in Seesaw Number 3 and 4 for this week will require you to go to your Teams page for orchestra 3. It is time to nominate student for our end of the year Orchestra Awards. Most improved, Most Achieved, and Most Inspirational. This is a prestigious award that is given out in grades 6-12 orchestra classes. I will be announcing these at our end of the year virtual banquet(instead of our concert). Go to your Teams page, Go to Files and open the one that says Vote for Orchestra Awards. You will Ctrl click to get to my google form and then write in the name of the student in your own orchestra class that deserve these 3 awards. You only vote for students in your class period. Please do his by May 10 Sunday 4. I'm putting together a couple of picture slide shows for you for the banquet. I would like you to take a picture of you with your instrument. Load it into the file in Teams for Picture of you with our instrument. Have someone take the picture for you instead of a selfie. It can be a nice portrait style shot, action shot or even more creative. A picture of you and your Viola playing chess!, You and your cello looking like you are playing volleyball(don't hit the cello with the ball), you reading your favorite book to your Violin. Let's have fun and get some great photos for the slideshow. Have fun this week. I appreciate you and am so honored to be your teacher. Also remember its Mother's Day on Sunday! Comments are closed.
