NEXT WEEK VIRTUAL TALENT SHOW


LET’S CELEBRATE the end of school WITH...

A Talent Show


During the week of May 18th, we will be holding an online talent show! Your assignment for music next week will be to share a talent that you have with us on the FlipGrid. This is something that you may need to practice for or create so I wanted to give you a week’s notice.

TALENT SHOW GUIDELINES

  • You can perform alone, or with someone else.

  • Your act can be music-related (singing, playing instruments, or dancing) or something else (gymnastics, magic tricks, art, memorize a story or poem, hula hooping, telling jokes, sports talent, science experiment, cooking, etc.)

  • It must be school appropriate

    • (Rule of thumb, if you need to ask, it probably isn’t appropriate for school.)

  • You MUST have your parent’s permission to show your talent!

Week 6: May 4th - May 10th

Lean on me,
