Due to the necessity to assure that students work injury-free, potential hazards are identified, and strict safety standards are established and enforced. Family math workshops are held over a six-week period to increase parental involvement and awareness in the mathematics program. Activities will include the basic rudiments of reading music, development of pitch and rhythmic accuracy, sight-singing, ear training, continual training of the voice and the exposure to a variety of choral literature. Along with the technical aspects, students will learn proper performance etiquette. The members of chorus will gain both insight and experience in working together to achieve the ultimate goal of performing.
Students use various techniques and correlated materials to facilitate learning activities.
Equipment, such as videodisc technology, Lego kits, and computer-generated materials are all employed. Some of these activities are comparison and contrast, sequencing, and justifying an opinion. Also taught are map reading skills, relating current events to historical events, and study of the election process. Participation in these activities provides an opportunity for the development of self-help, cooperative and leadership skills. We at Burnet take pride in our students and their commitment to our school and community.
