All of the information is on Curve but I did send this email out to the students with some updates......

 

Ok…… I went in and put the assignments in again under the new Smart Music class that should say something like 2020/2021 6^th grade 5^th period, 2020/2021 6^th grade 6^th period, etc…..    Follow the instruction email I just sent out and join the class.  Your assignment songs are due by Sunday night –

6^th grade - #4 and 6

7^th grade - #63, 97, and Habits Sight Reading Exercise #1 (but can have multiple attempts)

8^th grade – Scottish Bobber exerpt, #22, and Habits Sight Reading #50 (but can have multiple attempts).

 

My three 7^th/8^th grade beginners….. You will do #6, 8, 12.  I need to move you faster than the 6^th graders but you aren’t ready for your grade level yet.  Please join both classes and try to stay on top of what we do in your grade level as well.

 

Also…… several of you still haven’t done your Introduction FlipGrids from last week.  Do them….. please!  I’ve enjoyed watching you and want to see EVERYONE!

 

6^th graders have a FlipGrid assigned due Sunday….. you probably don’t totally know how to do it until I finish the week on Thursday….. so you may want to wait on it until later in the week or the weekend.

6^th graders and beginners….. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch the videos that I uploaded to Curve.  It took me forever and I took the time to do that because I want to help you.  Good information there.

7^th and 8^th graders…. You will have a FlipGrid assignment due Sunday…. Hope to post it tomorrow.  It will be something relatively easy…. Probably one song from book  that we have done in class this week along with a scale. 

 

All band students have a care and maintenance quiz on Curve…. It is ten questions and VERY VERY EASY……. Just do it.  Thanks 😊

 

Only ten of our band students have set up Essential Elements Interactive and connected with my class.  Please set up your account at www.essentialelementsinteractive.com.  You will not have a student id #..... leave that part blank.  The student activation code should be in the front of your book.  Where it says join a class on the lefthand side after you have set it up, please put in this school code – ApplingMidBand83.  I will not put an assignment on there this week but will be using that…. Especially with 6^th graders.

 

Zoom meeting schedule – I will send out the links in a separate email.

6^th grade – Tuesdays 9:30-10:15 (had our first one today), Wednesdays 9:30-10:15, and Friday 8:15-9:00

7^th grade – Thursday 9:30-10:15 and Friday 9-9:45

8^th grade – Monday 12-12:45 (sorry I missed yesterday…. Was out of town) and Friday 9:45-10:15

 

Virtual kids……. It is your responsibility to stay on top of the songs that we are doing in class (listed in the agenda) and come to the zoom meetings and to turn in your assignments.  I can’t grade you on participation unless you come to the zoom meetings.  Be ready to play with your instrument and book (and scale sheet/warm ups for 7^thand 8^th graders).  I will remind you in the zoom invite what to have out and ready.  We won’t have much time and I want to try to make this work…. As weird as it is.

 

I think that is all for now.  Please let me know If you have questions or having trouble with something.
