A little bit about the music classroom:

In music class students will sing, move, listen, imitate, explore, experience, analyze, classify, create, share, perform, notate, read, improvise, cooperate, and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!! We strive to create innovative, engaging lesson plans which include singing, playing instruments, and moving in each of our lessons. Music is important here at Dolvin Elementary. Studies show that students who receive music perform better on tests involving reading, math, problem solving, and logical thinking.

2nd Grade Musical Tomorrow!

I am in need of about 4 to 5 parent volunteers to help me during the day with set up of the cafeteria for our evening performance. We will be transporting chairs and setting them up in rows. Please let me know right away if you are able to help. In additional I would like to ask that each parent help stack chairs, transport chairs and tables, and help us breakdown/ setup the cafeteria for Friday lunch. If we work together, we will all be home with our little ones quickly! 

One of my pushes this year is to communicate concert etiquette with my students.  You too can help at home! Take time to review concert behavior and expectations with your children and help us set a good expectation at our performances so we are educating the next generation on how to attend these types of performances properly. 

For a fun little intro, you might consider watching this video created by Mrs. Evans and myself last year. The kids thought it was great! There are also some really great videos from Sesame Street.  This would be a great review for all ages before any concert setting.





We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!

If you are in need of additional information about the show, please read the letter sent home from homeroom teachers last week via e-mail.  Let me know if you have any questions.
