During First Quarter all 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will complete the Music Flashcard Project--the hard-copy of the word list and GPS goal sheet/reflection will be coming soon (around the last week of August)
Due dates will be during the week of September 29th. Music Projects are always due on the day you come to Music. Early projects are always appreciated and earn extra points.
Students will officially have 4-5 weeks to complete this work, but you are welcome to start early if you like! Students should plan to work on quarterly Music projects for about 30 minutes a week (3 sessions of 10 minutes OR 2 sessions of 15 minutes OR 1 session of 30 minutes). Some students will need more time, others less. If you are having trouble, or if you need help ASK MS. TURGEON or a classmate you can trust!
The flashcard project is an opportunity for students to develop better dictionary and paraphrasing skills, learn music vocabulary, practice using a straight edge to draw a staff, and create a toolbox that will help them learn proper music terminology, symbols, and notes on a staff.
While creating flashcards is not a grand use of creativity or a super fun activity, many students from last year expressed that it was the MOST USEFUL project they did in Music, because once the cards were finished we used them in games, competitions, and assessment activities during class. The kids got better at using their Music words and they felt able to express their ideas more effectively.
Third Graders: Flash Cards (1-25 and 9 line note/space note cards) PLUS the GPS goal sheet /reflection
Fourth Graders: Flash Cards (1-35 and 9 line note/space note cards) PLUS the GPS goal sheet /reflection
Fifth Graders: Flash Cards 1-50 and 9 line note/space note cards PLUS the GPS goal sheet /reflection
Due dates will be during the week of September 29th. Music Projects are always due on the day you come to Music. Early projects are always appreciated and earn extra points.

Vocabulary Cards Line and Space Note Cards
1. Each flash card should have the vocabulary word written on the front of the card and the definition on the back.
2.Definitions should be written in complete sentences.
3. Be sure to use simple definitions that you understand.
4. Each flash card should be numbered (corresponding to the vocabulary number)
--->If you do a few cards a week it will be a breeze!
Third Graders: We will review how to create these cards in class, but you will need to finish them at home.
*Students may work together to compile their flashcard definitions, but EACH student must have the required cards in their set.
*Fourth and Fifth Graders may re-use their cards from last year if they are in good condition and meet the requirements
