1st Grade Informances Week of May 2-6

April 2016

Dear Parents,

The 1^st graders have been busy this school year singing, dancing, playing instruments, clapping rhythms, learning about sound opposites, and much more in the music classroom! Mitchell School would like to invite you to the First Grade Informances, the week of May 2-6 during your child’s normal music time.

An informance is a chance for parents to see what a typical music class is like. It is process based rather than product based. Unlike a performance where parents see a concert that has been taught and rehearsed for months (product-based), an informance informs parents what kind of activities students do in music class every week (process-based). J Students do not practice for an informance; they just show up and participate normally as they do in music. You are invited and welcome to come during your child’s first grade music time the week of May 2-6; parents can sit and watch the class in action! (Aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. are ok too). Adults only please.

Below are the times our informances will take place:

Monday, May 2:

Mrs. Down’s Class: 9:00-9:45 am

Mrs. Dorazio’s Class: 2:00-2:45 PM

Tuesday, May 3:
