Over
the past 9 months I have had the pleasure of singing, moving and playing
instruments with your child twice a week in Music class. Therefore, as the year
is drawing to a close, I would like to invite your child to share a talent with
their classmates and me. A talent is a
skill that the student practices regularly. It can include: singing a song
(with appropriate lyrics), reciting or acting out a well-rehearsed poem,
dancing, demonstrating magic tricks, playing an instrument, martial arts,
acrobatics or other activities that showcase talent skills.
If
your child has a talent but cannot demonstrate it fully at school, they are
welcome to bring in an object that represents the talent (i.e. swimming badge, basketball
or a paint brush). If bringing in an object, your child should be prepared to
talk about this object and share a few interesting facts.
If
your child would prefer to share their talent in a video format, please send the video clip to my school email account or save it onto a USB stick and have
him/her bring it to school on their sharing day (see below).
A time limit of 1 to 1-½ minutes should
be observed in order to allow all students the opportunity to share. At the students disposal
are: CD player, piano, mats (from the gym), music stands, my computer (if
sending an MP3 audio accompaniment or video clip).
The
date of talent sharing in their Music class will be:
Gr. 2 – Monday June 26th (Day
5)
Gr. 1, Gr. 3 and K - Wednesday June 28 (Day
1)
Musically
Yours,
Mrs.
