During this Unprecedented Emergency school closing, I will be introducing and suggesting different Online lessons and activities thru My web page/Blog for Grades K-5.
This page is where you will find Info and updates for Music, so tune in on Mondays for The weekly Lesson.
Daily updates will be added with additional activities and ideas.
*** It would be great if every student kept a Daily or Weekly Journal with what they have done in Music, Art, PE and of course the Academics. ***
My Email is - i[email protected]
Feel free to write to me anytime, and I'll be sure to get back to you :)
IMPORTANT!!
Please keep in mind that this is an ongoing new process for all Cobb Music Specialists, and there is no one correct, exact way or method as to how this new Online Music Curriculum is to be implemented etc.
Cobb County Music Specialists have been sharing resources, lessons and ideas with each other so that we can pass these on to you and your children.
My Virtual Office hours will be 9-10:30 AM every weekday, and this will be the time I can answer emails, or questions that you might have.
I will try to provide additional supplemental extensions regarding music instruction when possible
I would like to provide all the Keheley community with Free access to the Quaver Online Curriculum that I use with students in class.
I will provide directed lessons each week, many that can be repeated day to day and week to week. Feel free to explore as you see fit if you want additional activities
It's a great web page with an incredible amount of information and activities that are available to your children during the school closing
