I am very excited to start this third trimester of the 2012-2013 school year! I am enjoying meeting and getting to know the students.
We have started the trimester off by outlining classroom and course expectations. Please make sure your student has obtained a 3-ring binder and 4 divider sections to organize their processfolios for this class.
We are currently studying African music and playing the djembe - everyone seems to really be enjoying themselves! As we continue to drum in class, we are also establishing musical vocabulary terms. There are 10 musical terms and 2 musical forms that the students have highlighted in their Music Dictionaries. The students should be spending 5-10 minutes a night studying these terms. We use the terms everday in class and we will soon have a test on these terms.
The first test on these 12 terms will be a matching exam and are currently slated to take place next week on:
- period 1 = Tues, 4/2
- period 2 = Fri, 4/5
- period 3 = Mon, 4/8
- period 4 = Tues, 4/2
- period 5 = Wed, 4/3 - this date was changed from Tues, 4/2
- period 6 = Wed, 4/3
