Heartwarming Performances
The third graders gave two moving performances of The American Dream by Roger Emerson and John Jacobson. Audiences learned about the many of the victories and struggles involved in the birth of the United States of America. Congratulations!

Recorder Case
Find some quilting weight cotton you like and make yourself a recorder case. Please ask for assistance from a grow up when cutting and sewing.
1) Cut a piece of fabric 6 inches x 20 inches.
2) If you would like to applique or add design to your fabric, now is the time. I chose to add on green fabric strips because my yellow fabric had no definite pattern.
3) Be sure to trim your edges after sewing.
4) Turn fabric over. Fold and iron a 1/4 inch on each long side.
5) Stitch down each side.
6) Fold down the top of your recorder case 1 inch and iron.
7) Stitch about 1/4 inch from the end of fabric so you leave a 3/4 inch opening in the fabric.
8) Fold right sides together, pin, and sew.
9) Snip a bit off the two bottom ends.
10) Attach a safety pin to 9 in. piece of ribbon and pull through the opening at the top of your case.
11) Tie ends together.
12) You're all done. Now start playing!

Jazz and Recorders!
The Fourth Graders have sung through their grade level musical, We Haz Jazz. As well as singing and swinging all the songs on the stage, the Fourth grade will choose one of five roles to play in the show: 1) actor 2) singer 3) dancer 4) set designer or 5) stage manager. Students studied the script so they could make informed decisions about which roles they wish to take on.
The Third Graders are so excited because they had the opportunity to take their recorders home. I hope you have a chance to look over the Recorder Karate packet together this week. This will be your child's music book for the next two years. Third graders will need to bring their recorder with them every day to class. I suggest keeping both recorder and folder in the book bag to make it easy to remember.
