December assembly

There will be a school-wide assembly on December 18th at 1:10pm in the gymnasium.

It will mostly be a sing-along assembly, featuring our school choir and leadership students.

The songs we will sing together are:

  • Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer
  • Jingle Bells (with the choir singing Winter Fantasy)
  • O Hanukkah
  • Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
  • Kwanzaa Song
  • O Christmas Tree (featuring students from leadership)

We hope you can join us for this festive sing-along!

Leadership Team

A new Leadership team has been formed here at Inman school!

Several grade 6 and 7 students are a part of this team.

They will lead assemblies, plan a Talent Show and plan some Spirit Days for our school.

Look here and on the school calendar for more fun upcoming events planned by the Leadership Students!

September in the rear-view mirror

Well, one month down!

I am getting to know the kids of Inman school, and so many of them have made me feel really welcome. Thank you to everyone for your support and patience as I learn the names of the students, assess where they are in the performing arts, learn about the previous routines and implement my own routines. Most of the kids are really kind and patient while this change happens!

September was a busy month with 4 assemblies and setting up schedules and routines.

Thank you to the kids of Division 6 who hosted the Terry Fox assembly. Thank you go Gabe and Dominic who hosted the Truth and Reconciliation assembly.

A notice will go out soon to students in the upper intermediate grades who are interested in these kinds of leadership opportunities around our school. We are definitely looking for assembly hosts, and we welcome their other ideas as to what their leadership role can look like and what they can offer at Inman school. Please feel free to email me with any further questions about leadership.

Feel free to visit my pages for current activities for the Inman kiddos. You can see that the tabs are divided by grade. These will also explain the focus, outcomes and expectations for your child in music class each month.

The Performing Arts at Inman School

Welcome to the Inman Music Blog!

I am new to Inman school this year. Please visit my biography page to learn more about me and my philosophy for teaching.

I will be posting important events here in the Inman performing arts world.

Not only will I be teaching music to Inman students, but we will be doing activities in drama, dance, and very occasionally in the visual arts. I believe that all of the arts are interconnected and important to each other. Music relies on expression to come alive, therefore, drama is important to help us create and convey those stories and emotions. Music makes us move – dance and music go hand-in-hand – especially for children, who just want to move! And we will draw, colour, create props, costumes, sets, stories, that go with the music we listen to.

I hope to learn as much about the Inman children in September to find out where best to start their arts learning with me this school year. I am looking forward getting to know them in only a few days. 🙂
