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.

Podcast with Endicott's Music Spot Tech Team!

We are thrilled to announce that we have started up a weekly podcast that is student run by my impromptu music tech club. Students collaborate through Edmodo and Google docs to create the script and assign roles. They are adding input on who they want to feature in interviews and even have created both digital and live music throughout the podcast. The students hope to include student work examples in the next feature. We are so thrilled to have kicked off this new weekly podcast! I hope you enjoy!

Chorus Calendar! New!

Dear Chorus Members & Parents,

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The Johns Creek Cluster Concert will be held Tuesday, March 29th at Johns Creek High School. Specifics will be e-mailed and posted on Edmodo in the near future. 

In effort to aid in better communication and assist in building responsible young adults, I have now embedded our chorus rehearsal schedule, concert dates, and choral clinics all on a calendar that can be found on the Dolvin chorus tab. Check it out to ensure your child doesn't miss their opportunity to meet with us! Dancers may be meeting after school. Be on the look out for a special message or e-mail from me. And as always, Edmodo is the one stop shop for all chorus information and contact. 

Thank you!
Megan Endicott, Allison Polaski, & Megan Gibson

Honored....

I am so incredibly honored and excited to share that I have been announced at Dolvin Elementary School's Teacher of the Year! And our very own Mrs. Polaski has been announced as the Professional Employee of the Year! The music department couldn't be more excited!
