Hello Westcliffe and Lake Forest Families! I'm looking forward to working with your children this year as we make music together!
All Instruments and materials used by the students will be provided for them in music class. The students are taught how to use them, and are expected to be responsible for taking care of the classroom materials. 4th graders may have the opportunity to purchase a recorder for our recorder unit. More information about that will come home closer to purchasing time.
Parent communication can happen through email (kwhurst@greenville.sc.us), phone (Westcliffe - ((864) 355-0300), Lake Forrest - ((864) 355-4000), or notes sent home with the student.
The students will be assessed on the following: individual participation, individual behavior, and demonstration of skill (based on the state standards).
The students can receive an "M" or a "P."
"M" = Met Standards
"P" = Progressing toward Standards
Our Musical Expectations are as follows:
M - Make MUSIC, Not Noise
U - Use Listening and Learning Position
S - Show Kindness and Respect to Others
I - Involve Yourself In All Activities
C - Care for our Instruments and our Classroom
