I will be contacting all virtual band students' parents 5-8 and discussing with them lesson schedules after I create my master lesson schedule with in-person learners. Students will rehearse the music I assign with recordings in google classroom during regular band time. All practice minutes will need to be written down on the logs that I send you. I will be scanning music out to virtual learners after I hand it out in class. I will be giving more information regarding signing up to participate in 5th grade band later in the week.
