Spring Newsletter - Kindergarten


Ford Music News – Kindergarten     

Dear Kindergarten Parents,
            We have had a great first semester at Ford Elementary!   I feel so lucky to be the new music teacher! 

Evening in the Garden – Tuesday, May 1
Every Ford student (including yours) will be performing during our annual “Evening in the Garden”.  This year’s program is called: Children of the World and includes folk songs from around the world.  Please mark your calendar now so that your student can be a part of this wonderful event. 
Tuesday, May 1 from 5:30–7:30 (rain date – Thursday, May 3)

Performing Arts Program
            Thank you so much for your generous donations to the Cobb County Performing Arts Program.  In March, the Capitol City Opera will be at Ford presenting its version of “Hansel & Gretel” and in May the Lisa Chyn Dance Duo will present a program entitled: “China Through Dance”.

Report Cards
            During the 3rd nine weeks kindergarteners will be assessed in the following 2 areas: one, students will need to consistently echo-sings the Sol-Mi interval in head voice and two, students should be able to echoe simple rhythmic patterns using body percussion and instruments.

            Please email me (craig.hurley@cobbk12.org) if you have any questions or if you would like to come and observe a music class.
Sincerely,
Mr. Hurley
