Students need to bring in a CUP for their dance song and 1 other item of KITCHEN PERCUSSION. We discussed in class what approved types of kitchen percussion would be. Students can begin to bring them in at anytime. If you do not have any available kitchen percussion, no worries, Ms. Schmittle will provide rhythm sticks!

*If you are a new student you MAY choose to take these belt tests OR you may choose to take your next recorder karate belt test instead* Example: If you have the white belt (hot cross buns) you will be testing for the yellow belt (merrily we roll along). Any struggles or questions? Come see Ms. Schmittle at recorder recess on Mondays OR come see me in the morning before announcements. Do not wait until the day of the quiz to ask me questions. Practice 5-7 minutes @ least 5 days per week! |
