6th Grade Assignment

Today in class we did not finish all of our work, in addition to practicing I would like for the 6th grade students to do 3 things online: 1) Vote for a fish name (on the side bar of this blog), 2) Log onto www.musictechteacher.com and do the Rhythm Match activity (parring vocabulary with the correct symbol,) and 3) also on Music Tech Teacher complete the "Listen to the Rhythms" quiz and email me the results.  Have a great weekend!

Orchestra Field Trip Announced

I am happy to announce that we will be going on an orchestra field trip on Friday, November 9th to see the Peoria Symphony Orchestra perform "The Planets."  It should be an amazing trip!  Students tickets and transportation will be paid for, but they will be asked to contribute for lunch.  Due to the time restraints we will be ordering in lunch (delivered to Evans) and eating here when we return.
More details to come! ~ Mrs. Boyd
