It was a smaller gathering this past Parent Ed Event, but we went over some details concerning the next few months of lessons as well as read a simple book with a profound message. Here is a recap of what we discussed.
The Year End Recital is scheduled for Sunday May 14th, which is Mother's Day. It's seems as if this should not pose any absences so we will go ahead with this recital date as planned. Let me know ASAP if you know for sure you will be unable to attend because it is Mother's Day.
We will be doing some fundraising at the March 5th Recital! Everyone will receive an update on how much is in the fund, what the money has gone towards and future uses for the money earned. On March 5th, there will be the opportunity to send candy grams to friends in group class as well as the chance to win some raffle prizes with some new goodies this year!
The Parents as Partners Event is underway. If anyone else would like to sign up for $12, please let me know!
PARENT ASSIGNMENT for February 28th GROUP CLASS! Parents are challenged to an assignment at the next group class to notice something positive that their child has done in group class or lesson and something they have notice another student do in class.
Group on February 28th is a MANDATORY REHEARSAL!
Lastly, we read The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss. Although I generally use this book in the Small Steps Baby, Toddler and Parent Music Class, it reminds us of the importance of helping children develop strong character traits such as perseverance, hard work, accepting challenges, never giving up, and believing in themselves. As adults, this book reminds us that our children do not learn or develop instantaneously. Everything takes time. Even how we learn as adults takes time. But if we work at our goals everyday, we will succeed.
Thank you Suzuki Parents!
