4th & 5th Grade Recorders & Notebooks

Dear 4th & 5th Grade Students and Parents/Guardians, August 8, 2017

Welcome back to school! It is going to be a fantastic year in music here at RES! All 4th and 5th grade students will be learning to play a musical instrument called a recorder. It is a plastic flute that you blow in gently and it has holes that your fingers cover to play different pitches (notes). This is a great way to learn how to read, write, and play music; and to prepare your child for band if that is the route they choose to go! We will also have a recorder performance one evening so you can hear how much progress we have made! It will be awesome!

Parents and guardians; we need your help! We want every 4th and 5th grade student to have their very own recorder that will stay here at school and then will eventually go home at the end of their 5th grade year. We are asking you to send in $5 per child (some have more than one) to cover the cost of their recorder, case, and sheet music. The money will be due by Monday, September 14th. Please send it in an envelope with your child’s first and last name and grade on the outside, or you may staple it to the bottom portion of this form and send it in with the form. This money will be turned in to me, Ms. Green.

If you already have your own recorder at home, you may use it instead, but you will be required to leave it here at school in the music room. If you want to purchase 2 recorders for your child to keep one at school and one at home, you may choose to do that as well.

Also, we have one more request…we need every 4th and 5th grade student to bring in a 3-prong flat folder that has the pockets on both sides and the 3 prongs (clasps) in the middle. No binders please, just the folder. The folder will also be due by Monday, September 14th! We will be using these to keep our sheet music organized. Please write your child’s first and last name on the outside of the folder with a marker or sharpie.

You all have been amazing students, parents, and guardians and I feel very blessed to be a part of RES! Thank you for all you do to help us make your child’s education be the best it can be!

Please fill out the form below and bring it back to Ms. Green before Monday, September 14th along with your $5 and a folder as described above. If you would like to send in a $5 donation to cover the cost of another student just indicate that below! Thank you! Go Huskies!!!!!!!
