Now, we get to see her from different angles as she did her introductory speech in video format. Hope your sunburn feels better!!!
Our classroom is new for us as we moved from the chorus room to the LGI. The same great music will be made in this new room. We’ll just be a bit farther apart as we do it!
Mrs. Rocchi spent her summer learning new ways to use technology in these times of social distancing. In our new, larger room this is extremely important so that we all can get the same information from a distance.
This year, we also have new ways of doing discussions. Padlet affords us the opportunity to share information even when we can not get together in small groups. When it comes to pet peeves, we all had a chance to share a little bit through an exercise during class.
One popular trend that is good to follow is the love of the Broadway hit “Hamilton”. Mrs. Rocchi is not going to “throw away her shot” as using this show as the basis of our current instruction. Her admiration of Lin-Manuel Miranda will be our guiding light through this difficult time.
In a world where everything seems upside down since the start of the COVID pandemic, we all are counting on Concert Choir to offer a bit of “normal” to our week. Our days at school certainly look different, but the feel of making music can still be the same. It can brighten the darkest days and offer hope for the future.
According to Socrates, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building the new.” In our Concert Choir, we will make every effort to build a “new” that is as good as, or better than, the “old”.
Stay strong and think positively.
