How parents can help: Encourage your child to have a daily practice routine and ensure that they are filling out their homework logs correctly. In addition to the online homework posts, I recommend that each student keep and maintain a homework journal where they can fill in how long they practice and what they worked on that week. You can decorate it to make it fun!

Selena
Recommended daily practice time is 5-10 minutes per day
Songs:
This week we sang señorita. It was so much fun during our lesson. For next Saturday, have a list of 5 songs prepared to choose from. Including the title and artist. From there we will select music that we can sing in the coming weeks. We also worked on some call and response in the vocal warm ups. Remember when the teacher (I) plays something, really hear it in your head and sing back what you hear. We went through different animals noises so for next week bring your best barn yard animal sounds with you to the lesson!
