Lincoln Blog Remix!

Hi Everybody,
Welcome the the BowcockMusic blog remix!  Technical issues that conflicted with the school operating system made it difficult to post-so I learned new tools to fix the problem. My brain hurts....

Here's the video of expectations I created and showed all of my Lincoln kids this week.  So great to have them back!

I've missed you Lincoln Kids!

Hi All,

I am finally back from an unexpected medical leave due to an argument I had with a slippery sidewalk (the sidewalk won!)

Thanks so much to Mrs. Coulter who subbed for me in my 3 week absence.   We are really getting into working on our targets for Trimester 2.

• All City Choir starts this week 1-14-16 at OHS after school
• Lincoln Choir starts next week on 1-19-16 in the big gym.

I am so glad to be back.  I have missed you all so much!

What an amazing concert!

Thanks so much for attending and supporting the musical efforts of our Lincoln students.

Choir Progress

 



After 4 weeks of sectionals the Lincoln Choir rehearsed with both soprano and alto.  What an amazing sound! With good rehearsal habits our music will only get better!

Coming up on the week of October 7th our music students will be marking their self-assessments for the mid-term. These can be found on the "Trimester Learning Targets" page and are listed by grade.

 

For mid-term, we review each of the learning targets but do  not score them as they are a "work in progress"

The two habit targets are self-assessed by each student and will be available at their fall conference

 

Working Towards Learning Targets

It has been a great first weeks.

All of our music classes are working very hard to achieve their Trimester 1 learning targets.

Welcome Back with a new SCHOOL SONG!

Here is our new school song!  Our fourth grade teacher Ms Hanson wrote the words and the group (soon to be world famous) DeKam and Johnson wrote the music!

 

Follow, then sing along by playing the video and following the words above.
(you can see both at the same time if you do not maximize either view)
 



You asked for it kids-and here it is.
