This month marked the beginning of Trimester 2 and all GMS students are now in their "new" trimester courses. There are many of you beginning 7th Grade General Music right now and I am so excited to get to know everyone!
We began last Monday with establishing course and classroom expectations. Students should be collecting their class supplies, which include:
· Pencil with an eraser
· A 1-inch, hard covered Three-Ring Binder with pockets in the sides
· 5 Dividers to organize the units/sections studied in class
· Headphones with an 1/8” plug (typical headphones for an mp3 player/phone) - these will not be brought to class everyday
We are also beginning making music by doing some African drumming! The students are learning 2 songs this week to learn how to drum as well as work on rhythm skills. Students will be checking in with this website to watch some online videos/podcasts and play with some cool virtual drum websites!
