Ready for a Musical Year!

WOW! I can't believe the summer is over and we are now in our second week of school! The summer held exciting news for me. I was asked in May if I would like to transfer to AES as the 3rd and 4th grade music teacher. This was a huge excitement. As much as I loved my job at BSLK and APS the past 3 years, my dream has always been to be at one elementary school. So when the opportunity came available, of course I was ecstatic! So now I'm the music teacher for 820 kids as opposed to 1350 kids. Couldn't be much happier. Now I get to see the kids every week and maybe I'll be able to remember their names. HAHA!

I'm almost finished with my first week of music classes. This week all of the students learned the rules and procedures for being in the music room. I also showed them around the new music room and we talked about all the exciting things we will be doing this year. Grand Open House is coming up the first part of September, so we also listened to the songs we will be singing. 3rd grade will be singing "You're a Hero" and 4th grade will be singing "A Song for Grandma and Grandpa." Go ahead and mark your calendars now where you can make sure to come to our performance.

3rd Grade Grand Open House---Tuesday, September 10th
4th Grade Grand Open House---Thursday, September 12th

This is going to be an fantastic year. The students are absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see what's in store for us in Music at AES!

***I will post pictures of our music classroom soon!***
