NEED TO KNOW
Red Balloons #8: We are having so much fun in class! It makes me so happy to see how much your students understand the musical concepts we are learning. I'm always striving to have fun with each activity, and also making sure the kids are experiencing the musical focus.
HOMEWORK HELP: This week's homework is a little abstract, but its not as complicated as it seems. Before the actual draw-in-the-book-activity, it asks the parents to "Perform the two patterns (MI-RE-DO and SOL-SOL-DO) for your child. Have your child identify the pattern." Just have a conversation about the two different patterns, what's different about them, what songs they're in, and sing and sign each of them while talking about them. You could even play them on the bells or on the virtual bells in the LPM app! Then color the patterns on the page!
PARENT DAY/TUITION DUE: Next week is a parent day and the third installment of tuition is due. I'll send an invoice later this week. If you don't get one, it means you already paid for this portion. Thank you!
GOOD TO KNOW
LET'S PLAY MUSIC: I threw both a MI RE DO and a SOL SOL DO into our Let's Play Music song and your student got to identify which one I was singing. We do the same thing with our Fox in a Box game at the end of classs. Those ears are getting smarter every day!
PUPPET SHOW: We did the Magic Lamp puppet show for the last time. We celebrated in style using the parachute! Next week we'll introduce a new puppet show 😁**Squeal in excitement!!**

Parents, you are so wise for having your kids learn music! Here are a couple of articles that show you HOW smart you actually are!
