October - 2020

Hello, Lightridge Chorus Families -

We are settling into our routine this year and I wanted to share our progress and some reminders. Please keep updated through Lightridge Chorus social media!

CALENDAR

Below is our calendar for the remainder of Quarter I! The calendar lays out what is worked on during class time and when our Minor Summative and Major Summative assessments are. Anything not completed during class is expected to be completed during learning lab. I have designed our distance learning curriculum to be focused on building community and still making music. We break up our class time into sections and it has been so wonderful to see students engaged and getting back into rehearsing!

HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR STUDENT

You should be hearing your student singing during our rehearsals. Much of what I teach in chorus has to do with confidence. Your student needs space to be vulnerable while singing at home. They are used to singing in rehearsal with their classmates. Please encourage them how you see fit. You know your student best and know what environment at home will ensure their comfort when submitting recordings for chorus or singing during rehearsal!

GRADES

I spend time listening to every student’s submission each time there is an assignment. This takes time and I am doing the best I can to keep things up to date. This week you will see that all grades have been updated up to this point in Quarter I. Encourage your student to complete missing assignments if you see any! Let me know if you have any questions!

I hope you all are enjoying this fall weather and are spending quality time with your children at home. I miss them all very much and cannot wait to hear them sing in person one day soon!

Best,

Helai Karim
