Welcome back for the 2018-2019 school year at Leal! The biggest news in the world of Music is that I will no longer be traveling between schools in Urbana. I get to spend all day every day this year at Leal! This is very exciting for me as it will allow me to build deeper relationships with the Leal community as well as allowing time in my schedule to work with Classroom Teachers on cross-curricular project! My mind is spinning (in a good way) with all sorts of ideas for this year. :-)
My first block of students this year is the 2nd and 4th graders. We are almost through our first week in my new room (upstairs in 207) and are settling right back into our song games and expectations. Next week, we will start talking about lines and spaces of the musical staff with 2nd grade as well as reviewing rhythm. 4th graders will get a refresher on all of our musical elements from previous years before beginning to apply that knowledge to the recorder starting on September 4th! Letters about recorders were sent home today (8/23).
Looking forward to a wonderful 2018-2019 school year!
