We will meet tomorrow after school (2:15-3:30) in the cafeteria. Please make sure that your child has a nut free snack and a drink. Looking forward to the music we'll make together!

It's begining to feel like fall...

It's my favorite season; sweatshirt weather, pumpkin flavored everything and fairs! I would be completely happy if it stayed like this all year long!

I apologize, I know I told some people that I would be at the pig roast this past weekend, but Saturday ended up being my bridal shower! I was completely surprised (and under dressed). It was a wonderful time and it's hard to believe that I will be Mrs. Beyus in two months. I hope the pig roast was a success as well.

Finally, here are my weekly updates and reminders:

-The first St. James Singers rehearsal will be THIS Thursday the 26th from 2:15 to 3:30. At this point I'm not sure where we will be rehearsing. I will post on this main page and the St. James Singer Page when I have this information.

-4th Grade will have a playing test on their recorders this week!
-We have two more weeks to practice our music for the October 4th St Francis/Pet Mass hosted by 8th Grade.
-Mrs. Fayumi and I will continue to go over "Come, Now is the Time to Worship" in both of our K-5 classes. Bring your smiles and dance moves!

Have a great week, Happy Autumn!

St. James Singers Permission Slips are due THIS Friday!

I've heard back from about half of those who signed up. If you have a conflict let me know, I don't want anyone to miss out! Please have your teacher put them in my mailbox or bring them to music class.

Thank you,

Weekly Reminders

Hope you are well rested after a weekend that is finally starting to feel like Autumn. I just wanted to post a few reminders for this upcoming week.

-Meet the Teacher's Night is Tuesday September 17th and Wednesday September 18th. I will be at school on Tuesday night from 7-8:30 in the library with the other specialists. Hope to see you there.

-If your child is going to join the St. James Singers, the permission slip is due this Friday, September 20th. I will have extra forms at Meet the Teacher's night if an extra is needed.

-The recorder order should be here sometime this week! If your child still needs a recorder, please send the order form in asap. I will also have extra order forms at the Meet the Teacher's night.

-7th Grade will not meet with me this week due to the shortened day. If you have homework from last week, please bring it to class on the 26th.

-Finally, I noticed I made an error on the St. James Singers info sheet. Our first practice is Thursday, September 26 from 2:15-3:30.

Have a wonderful week,

Miss Robideau

My First Week of Teaching

I wanted to thank everyone at St. James for a wonderful first week. It was wonderful to meet all the students as well as many parents. I feel so welcome and I'm looking forward to what is to come this school year.

32 students signed up for more information about the St. James Singers. Wow! Permission slips will be sent home to those who signed up on Tuesday and are due by September 20th. If your child did not get a chance to sign up or changed their mind, I will have extra forms in my classroom. There is more information about choir on the St. James Singers page.

Whether your child was in Kindergarten or in 8th Grade we talked about what music was and meant to them. It was so interesting to hear about their interests and feelings about what we hear in the world around us; whether it be on the radio, in school or in church.

Finally, I want to remind everyone that I will be at Meet the Teachers Night on Tuesday September 17. If you have any questions about what your child is learning in class, what we will be doing later in the year, St. James Singers or just want to stop by and meet me, I will be in the library with the other specialists. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Have a great weekend!
