Hello Fisher Families, my name is Amity Bateman. I am the Fisher library teacher and I am also the department chair for the electives department and I'm going to tell you a little bit about elective options for incoming 6th third grade students when they enroll can select from two different Pathways the music pathway or the 6th grade exploratory wheel both of these pathways are for the entire school year as a for the music pathway I will turn it over to mrs. Anderson the band director to tell you about the music program let's talk about the music halfway first all the choice we have our kind of a continuation from the fifth grade we have band choir and Orchestra you can see our instruments listed their important to know we don't offer a large Ensemble class that includes piano or guitar but we find that guitar students make excellent musicians in any of the three programs one of the nice thing about the music program is we do have levels of classes we have our Trojan level or intermediate and advanced level are trojan level is mostly 6th graders this is a connecting Eurasian from the fifth grade program also open for kids that want to switch instrument intermediate is mostly 7th grade but audition into this group if they are taking private lessons or an advanced skill and then we also do have advanced level classes for band you have to be in 7th or 8th grade to be in advance but for choir and Orchestra even incoming 6th graders if they're at an advanced level they could audition for that advanced class so talk to your fifth grade music teacher if you want to audition for intermediate or Advanced otherwise you can just sign up for music and be in the Trojan level some of the highlights of taking the music program the classes meet three times a week so we progressed very quickly and we can really easily address any of the learning gaps that fifth grade year is so tough just having music once a week I'm so we can usually help you I'm overcome any deficits that you might have you get to learn a variety of music musical styles and genres we play patriotic music popular music from movies TV shows music all kinds of stuff it's a really family like environment there is a lot of social connections that happen in the music classes we do a lot of events together program program White Band choir and Orchestra together can you get a really great bond with your teacher for potentially up to 3 years and your group of students we have lots of events and performances throughout the year but very little conflicts with or some other program it's a fun thing to be involved in and we are often asked Can We join music in 7th grade if we take the wheel in 6th grade absolutely you can join the music program at any time that you are in the middle school for the wheel pathway students will experience for different electives change each quarter but staying with the same groups of the same students will rotate through four subject areas with new teachers over the course of the school year these subjects may include theme Theater Arts. art or skills for adolescents in the 2324 school year the options will be steamed Dance Art and skills and there's a really wonderful things about picking the exploratory wheel some of the highlights of enrolling in the exploratory wheel are that students get to know for teachers over the course of the year not just one students are also introduced to collectors that they can take as a year-long elective in 7th Ward in 8th grade things like dance Steve and art also offer your long electives and the skills for adolescents portion of the wheel teaches important skill it's like organization time management and other helpful skills as students transition into Middle School this is just a sneak peek of the electives that will be awaiting your students and stuff eighth grade and seventh grade students have the option of an additional wheel that covers Spanish language and culture French language and culture video production and another team section there is also an art full year electives the classes in music that mrs.
