Fifth Grade Chorus
I am very excited about teaching Fifth Grade chorus again this year!!! This
year rehearsals will be on Wednesday mornings from 8:00-8:50 in room
136. Continuing to have Morning chorus will enable the students to learn
more challenging pieces, and be able to strengthen their choral skills.
Getting 50 minutes of singing time, rather than 20 minutes of singing time
during recess chorus, makes a huge difference in student success. Fifth
Grade Chorus will begin on Wednesday morning, September 7th and will
be in Room 136.
There will be a winter and spring concert this year. Attendance is
mandatory for every chorus rehearsal and is a major part of their grade. If
your child is unable to attend a chorus rehearsal please email or call me to
let me know. The concert dates for the 2016-2017 school year are as
follows:
Winter Concert: Wednesday, December 7 at 7:00 at TIS
Snow Date: December 14
Spring Concert: Wednesday, April 5 at 7:00pm at TIS
Mark your Calenders!!!
Please fill out the form and have it returned to me by Friday, September
2nd.
Please feel free to email or call me with any questions:
[email protected] (860)870-6885 Ext: 136
I am very much looking forward to teaching all of your talented children!! I
cannot wait to hear their beautiful singing!!!

Recorder Order Time
Dear Parents,
The third grade curriculum uses recorders to teach music literacy.
Each student needs to have his or her own recorder. For health and
educational purposes, we have found that it is better for each student
to own their own recorder and bring it to school for their music classes.
The recorder is an investment in your child’s music education. All the
third, fourth and fifth grade music classes use recorders.
This year we are starting a new program called recorder Karate
where the students have a music packet to practice at home and can
earn colored belts for performing particular pieces with the correct
notes, rhythms, steady beat and good tone quality. The students will
bring their recorders to and from school in order to learn skills in class
and then practice at home. I am very excited about this new program. I would like to give you the opportunity to purchase a recorder through the
school. This is of no advantage to our school, or me, but it is advantageous for
you. First, if I order the recorders in bulk we can pay at least $5.50 less for
each recorder. Also, I can insure that your child will be getting a quality
recorder with good tone quality.
I am offering you the opportunity to order a recorder through Tolland
Intermediate School. Just fill in the form below and send in a check for $5.50
made out to the Tolland Intermediate school student activity fund. Please
return the check and the form before Friday, September 16, 2016. We will
begin using recorders as soon as they are delivered.
Thank you and I hope I have made getting a recorder for your child just a little
easier,
Ms. Judith Baker
(Please return by September 16)
