Many students put off these assignments to the last minute, which wastes time, adds stress, and causes poor performance. Divide the project into small steps. Write these steps down. Set goals for accomplishing each step and map them out on a calendar. You'll have an easier time staying on track if you know exactly what to do next.
Parents can help by rewarding the student for meeting each goal.
Next week our choirs will be visiting both Paragon and Brooklyn elementary schools to present a program of Christmas music. These visits follow the wonderful concert that our choir students gave on Thursday, December 9 th at West Middle School, along with our orchestra and band members. The visits allow our students the opportunity to perform for a younger audience. It's also a great way to show our elementary students how much fun middle school choir can be. These groups perform for us each year, as well as performing at East Middle School and several elementary schools.
