♪Notes♪ from the Music Room
Boyden students have been settling into the music room and exploring many instruments, activities and songs.
Kindergarten and Grade one have been playing singing games and learning all about steady beat and dynamics!
Grade two has been reviewing dynamics and trying out some more complex rhythms. They have also been learning some fun double circle movement songs!
Third grade is excited to be learning how to read notes on the music staff in preparation for learning the recorder!
Fourth grade has been challenging themselves with a French cup passing routine!
Fifth grade working on some complex rhythms and playing Tuban, hand and bongo drums!
What is Title 1?
Title I is a federal program that provides financial aid to school districts to help ensure that all students meet academic standards, especially those from low-income families. Title I is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), and is authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
The program provides supplementary instruction in the areas of Language Arts and Math. Title I is a regular education program and is not part of Walpole’s special education program. It has proven to be extremely beneficial, providing students with extra academic support, which assists them to succeed in the daily classroom setting. In some cases, students work in small groups outside of the classroom with the Title I Instructor in addition to the instruction provided by the classroom teacher.
We are fortunate this year to have four excellent Title 1 Teachers at Boyden;
Mrs. Doucette, Mrs. Adair, Mrs. Federico, and Mrs. Berry.
