Greetings from the Music Room! - Attention 4th & 5th grade parents!
This is Mrs. Clark, and during the month of October we have been learning about the composer Antonio Vivaldi.
Please ask your child to tell you where he was from and what color his hair was under his wig! I will be impersonating Vivaldi on Tuesday, Oct. 31st (Halloween). Mrs. Calwell's and Mrs. Kuruwita's students will be in the music room on Halloween to see him!
However, other classes will not be in music on that day. For those students, I have set up a Flipgrid in my Canvas classroom so your student can record themselves asking Vivaldi a question, and he will answer your child back with a video response.
If your child would like to ask Vivaldi a question, following theses directions.... I have showed the students these steps during music class, so most 4th and 5th grade students will be able to this on their own. However, I just wanted send this info. out to inform you.
- Go to the Wake ID portal
- click on the blue and white circle (Canvas)
- Then click accept to join the 2nd or 3rd grade classroom- your student may have already done this!
4.Once you are in the classroom, read the message from me.
5.Then click on the HERE to get you into Flipgrid.
6.Once in Flipgrid, you will click on send Vivaldi a question
7.Then click on record and record the question.
Vivaldi will send you an answer to your question!!
I look forward to hearing all the different questions!- Mrs. Clark
