WELCOME BACK TO RICHLAND ELEMENTARY MUSIC - Fall 2020
It is wonderful to be back in our elementary music room, and see everyone FACE to FACE again! (Even if masks are needed at times...) We are stronger together, and if we try, anything is possible!
We have had to make several changes this year in how we are doing music. Because our larger split classes can no longer meet together for music, each individual classroom must come separately for their music time. The music classroom must also be disinfected between classes. As a result, Kindergarten and First Grade students have 20 minutes of music, three times per week. Students in Grades 2 - 6 are getting 25 minutes three times per week. As of now, Grades 3 - 6 have been asked to wear masks during music class, while younger students are only required to wear masks during transition times. We are uncertain at this point how and if we will be able to present any concerts this year. Time will tell. My goal this year is to keep our kids learning as much music as we can, while trying to make it fun, and as normal as possible for the kids. It will be an interesting year!!
