Attention 4th Grade Parents
If you intend on purchasing your student a Peripole recorder through SchoolCash, please do so as soon as possible!
We will begin our recorder unit in January, if your student is not purchased a recorder, I will happily provide a school-owned instrument for use throughout the spring. School-owned instruments will need to be returned upon completion of the recorder unit in May.
Best regards,
Samuel Rohed – Hamilton ES Music
Our next Key of Excellence is Flexibility. Throughout our day we may be faced with situations that are not going exactly as we planned. Being flexible is adapting to these changes or situations in ways that move us forward. Flexibility is about recognizing all kinds of habits, patterns, or activities in our life that aren’t working and changing them, and even changing them again until we find the one that works. We want our Lions to recognize what is not working and be willing to change in order to achieve their goal. https://8keys.org/8keys-defined/
