Grades 3-5 will be working with the program Soundtrap to create their own songs throughout the year. This way, all future music classes will help students get new ideas for their songs. The program only allows for a number of “seats” in the class at a time. I have paid for enough seats for two classes at a time. Every student will be able to access Soundtrap during all of their recorded and live music lessons. Third and fourth grade students will continue to have access after their scheduled class until the following day. Both fifth grade classes will have access all weekend. The schedule for long-term access is as follows:

Monday – Hoslclaw and Robbins

Tuesday – Trinchero and Langton

Wednesday – Bannon and Hoslclaw

Thursday – Robbins and Trinchero

Friday – Langton and Bannon

Saturday – Herkert and Keefer

Sunday – Herkert and Keefer

Thank you for all of your song suggestions! These are the songs I have matched with the Superpowers of the Month:

WELCOME BACK, FOREST PARK FOXES!!

Let’s begin this year right by you giving me input about your favorite songs by filling out the survey, linked to this page.  Your choices may be matched with the Words of the Month and will get sung A LOT over the school year.  Information about the music your family likes could help us choose great music for the school’s International Festival.  The link is below and below that is a list of this year’s Words of the Month, so you can use this survey to tell me about songs that address the ideas behind these words:
