July Newsletter

This month we'll be studying musical instruments. Everybody loves making music and this month we'll all have the chance to try out different types of instruments. Students will learn about wind, string and percussion instruments, about what makes a sound have higher or lower pitch, and which instruments produce which sounds.

Mr. Brian will be brining in several instruments for us all to try, including guitar, melodica, glockenspiel, slide whistle, triangle, castanets and rhythm sticks, but WE NEED YOUR HELP! If any parents have a keyboard, tuba, clarinet ... anything at home that we can use in class, please contact Ms. Stephanie and let her know. We appreciate it!

Finally, for the fun summer month of July we'll have a themed dress day every day. Please consult the calendar above for each day's theme. The first dress-up day will be Monday, July 6th. Every Monday is Color Day, and this day we'll be wearing red, white and blue in honor of the 4th of July, America's Independence Day. Don't forget to find some red, white and blue clothes to wear that day!
