Thank you again for taking the time to come listen to your child talk about their progress so far in 5th grade. Like always, please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Music Update from Mrs. Mungin

Hello Parents,

It is with excitement that I let you know that we have started our Recorder Karate unit.  This is an ongoing until the end of 2017.  All students in 4th and 5th grades are required to play the recorder.  By now you should have all signed and returned a Recorder Karate letter with a rubric and objectives outlined for the unit.  Students are asked to practice six days for 15 minutes.  This is how your child’s grade will be determined for this nine weeks.  Failure to turn in practice logs and test recorder songs will result in a failing grade.  Therefore, your child always has homework which are practicing their Recorder Karate songs.

Please help me assist your child with their music playing.  I know as a team the both of us can help your child achieve a level of playing that they will be very happy with.

If you have questions, first please refer to parent letter in your child’s music folder and then email me if your question is not addressed in the letter.

Thanks

Conference Week

Parents,

It's that time of year! I am so excited to invite you into our classroom for our Fall conference. Please sign up for an available conference time. Students are REQUIRED to attend the conference, as they will facilitate the discussion. School will be dismissed at 12:20 for the entire week of conferences. Please plan accordingly.

Conferences will last TWENTY MINUTES each. We must remain on schedule out of respect for everyone's time. Because your child will facilitate, it's essential that we give him or her our undivided attention. For this reason, I ask that you please make any necessary arrangements for any other children. 

Please click the link below to sign up for a conference time.

www.SignUpGenius.com/go/20F094CA9AE22A0F94-conference 

I look forward to seeing all of you at conferences!

Sincerely,

Ms. Kraftschik
