It has been a hectic time to prepare for Christmas this year. We had several obstacles facing us with student abscences due to Covid, the C.U.P.E strike and 2 Fridays where students had a day off for NBTA Professional Day and Parent Teacher. Elementary classes only have one music period per week-primary have two-  if they miss music day I have no free time to make up that class. None the less, several classes were able to prepare a rehearsal video from music class. 

The homeroom teacher will post the class video on their Teacher Homepage. Classes appearing will be as follows: Kindergarten-Poole, Grade 1 Moar- Grade 2 Sullivan-Grade 2 Yake- Grade 3 Hackett, Grade 3 Walsh-Grade 4-5 Donovan- and a solo performance from a student in Grade 6-7Murphy. Mme. Hitchman prepared her class performance and will post on her facebook page.  We ran out of time to get K-Sullivan Goguen- 1 Hitchman- 5 Tucker 5-6 Methot and Middle School classes. 

Following the Christmas Break- I will have the students work on a performance during music classes and post when they have a polished presentation ready for parents. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year. Let's hope we will be able to present a live show next Christmas season.

This year we are unable to present our annual Remembrance Day ceremony. We encourage you however, to take time on November 11^th to remember those brave Canadians who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect the rights and freedoms we enjoy today. Please keep in your thoughts, those who served our country and those currently serving to protect our great nation.

In Honor of Their Names    “… Let’s not forget our fallen friends; whatever place they lay and

                                                   make in honor of their names, each day- Remembrance Day.”

At 11:00 am on Remembrance Day maybe we could all pause for a minute of silence…………to remember.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION-  I have already sent a copy of our guitar songs with my piano accompaniment to a few members of each class. Message me on Teams or email if you would like to have this for home practice. Just Imagine- you could have an original recording/performance by M.O.D. That will be worth money some day. I can guarantee it!!

Hello Grade 8 Bosma: I trust you are well today. Just a note to inform IF we go to Home Learning format- you are responsible for keeping up with work for French class. Please be checking this page as well as the Team Page I have set up for instructions regarding the assignment "Mon Auto". You should be able to access your car diagram (exterior and interior) from home. Message me on our Team page if you need any help with vocabulary. I am always available to help. 

Grade7/8M and Gr. 8B Music- If any of you want the chord sheets for home practice-let me know. 

Have a good day everyone. We hope to see you next week.

Great job on your guitar playing/vocals today. Still need to find time for Gr. 8B to record in the music room. Might have to be on Friday morning. Once all recordings are finished-I will combine them all into one highlight video. Keep checking back next week for that!  Have a great evening everyone.
