3rd Grade Parents: Your children will be continuing to learn from the Recorder Karate curriculum this year. The recorder order has already been placed, but I do have a few extra recorders that students can purchase for $6.00. Please see me or have your child purchase one during music class :)
Student Expectations: Students need to be prepared for music class with their recorders and music. Students' participation accounts for 5% of their overall grade (per the PACE grading scale). Recorder playing and written tests account for 50% of students' overall grade. Performances (Dec. 19th) account for 50% of students' grades.
This year I have given students an opportunity to leave spare recorders (if students have more than one recorder) in my classroom to ensure that they are always prepared and won't lose points. This option is only available to students who have two recorders so that they can leave one in the classroom and still have a recorder to practice with at home. The at-home recorder can be an inexpensive one from the dollar store because it will be used mostly to practice proper fingering and breathing and intonation (blending of everyone's recorders together) isn't an issue.
