Dear Seedlings 2 and Family,

Welcome Back to School

My name is Mrs. Stolar I have the pleasure and honor to be your Music teacher for this 2020-2021 year. For most of you, we already know each other, and for our new Birches students, welcome!

As you all know, this year will be fantastic, but different in so many ways. For multiple reasons, especially Covid 19 concerns about singing in a school setting, all my classes will be taught remotely.

I am sure you are all interested in how this all works.

For Cohort A, Cohort B and Remote learners, all music assignments will be sent and completed thru Seesaw. Your classroom teacher will make sure you all are all logged in and ready to gol! The first Seesaw music assignment will be posted on Monday, September 14^th( the second week of school), and all future assignments will be posted every Monday morning and your responses should be submitted by the following Sunday , to give you an entire week to complete.

In addition to your Seesaw Assignments and activities, each class will have a scheduled live zoom meet so we can see each other face to face and work together. The Seedlings 2 class is scheduled to meet on Zoom each Wednesday when school is in session, from 11:00am-11:30am, Our first Zoom class will be held on September 16th. Participation is expected. I will be sending out your zoom invite as we get closer to the date in the announcement section of Seesaw. I can’t wait to see everyone.

Please look for this information on Seesaw as well.

I can’t wait to make music with you all. Everyone at home, be ready to join in from time to time with us as well.

Hoping for an amazing year, filled with amazing music.

Best,

Mrs. Stolar
