NEED TO KNOW
Blue Bugs #15: Thank you, thank you, thank you for an AMAZING first year with your students! Seriously, they are so much fun! (And so are you moms and dads :))
FALL CLASSES: I'm going to send out fall class enrollment information emails next week, and before-class-starts information in August. It's going to be great!
GOOD TO KNOW
SUMMER FUN: Here are some bell activities and some songs they know on the bells. Sometimes it's fun just to play!
SUMMER REVIEW: The Let's Play Music company has put together a summer review booklet. It might have some of the same things that is in the packet I sent home, but will probably be more thorough. The 1st Year Review Packet is $9.99 and can be accessed at this link. It is made to be used in one of two ways. One, you can go through it with your own student. It comes with a parent guide that includes activities and games to correlate with the lessons. Two, it can be part of a teacher-led summer camp. I have been batting around the idea of doing this as a summer camp. If you'd be interested let me know. It's not too late for me to decide to do it!
ANOTHER SUMMER REVIEW OPTION: The Let's Play Music company has also bundled a virtual summer review. They have chosen six lessons that really punch home the heart of the 1st Year curriculum and are offering it as a summer review. Once you purchase the bundle, you will have access to those six lessons to watch as many times as you want for 12 weeks. They videos are engaging and fun, and I've had students watch them over and over. The video review bundles are $40 and you have access to the videos for 12 weeks after purchase. Here is the order link.
GREEN TURTLES MUSIC: Once you register, you should be able to access the music on the app. If you'd rather, here is the link to a Google Drive folder with the recordings. Here is also the link to download the songs if you prefer that route. I'll also have CDs available for anybody who wants one once classes start in the fall.
FUN TO KNOW
Check out this escape room designed especially for First Year Let's Play Music students! It worked better for me on a computer rather than a phone, but I could make it work on both. It was fun for my older kids too! I hope you can help the fox get out of the barn!
