Friday is Sports Team Day. Before Masses on February 5th and 6th there will be a Bake Sale to benefit our School, and our School Children will be hosting the Sunday February 6th 10:00 am Mass. There will also be a pancake fundraiser before and after the Masses on Sunday February 6th. I encourage you to please attend the February 6th Mass and if your child attends this School they should wear there OLL Shirts to Mass.
The 5-8 Grade Band is currently working on Chanson and Bourree by Frank Erickson. Your student if they are in Band should be working on measures 1 through 33 of the first movement and practicing the Db Concert Pitch Scale.
The First Graders are again working on recorders. They have learned how to play the notes B, A and G successfully. They have a repertoire of six songs using these notes.
The Second through Fourth Grades are again working on the keyboards. The third and fourth grades have been seriously focusing on speed of identifying the notes on the staff. The Fourth Grade will be getting weekly speed tests on note identification. The second grade is working on accurately identifying the notes on the staff, and remembering how the keyboard is lettered.
